 Morris, alienation

Social alienation is a condition in social relationships reflected by a low
degree of integration or common values and a high degree of distance or
isolation between individuals, or between an individual and a group of
people in a community or work environment. It is a sociological concept
developed by several classical and contemporary theorists, The concept
has many discipline-specific uses, and can refer both to a personal
psychological state (subjectively) and to a type of social relationship
(objectively).

Karl Marx's theory of alienation describes the estrangement (Ger.
Entfremdung) of people from aspects of their Gattungswesen ("species-
essence") as a consequence of living in a society of stratified social
classes. The alienation from the self is a consequence of being a
mechanistic part of a social class, the condition of which estranges a
person from their humanity.
 Morris took a stand against
industrialization and alienation.

An equal distribution of work,
pleasure and culture.

Avoid alienation and
industrialization.

Avoid alienation of creativity

 Aestheticism (also the Aesthetic
Movement in spanish El Movimiento
estético.

is an intellectual and art movement supporting the emphasis of aesthetic values more than social-political themes
for literature, fine art, music and other arts. This meant that Art from this particular movement focused more on being
beautiful rather than having a deeper meaning - 'Art for Art's sake'. It was particularly prominent in Europe during the
19th century, supported by notable figures such as Oscar Wilde, but contemporary critics are also associated with
the movement.

factors that influence his own style. Beardsley's first commission was The Death of Arthur by
Thomas Malory (1893).
