Cataloged from the PDF version of the thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 87-91). This paper explores how the coercive methods of mass manipulation has evolved with time to new and more sinister forms that are well suited for use in the modern globalized world of nation states that is dominated by capitalism. It carries out an analysis of the history of domination methods and their evolution from the colonial era to the modern world along with exploring some patterns and ideas in fiction regarding the portrayal of control and power. The paper also analyzes military literature for concepts and theories relevant to the topic to provide an additional perspective. In addition, the paper will also present and explain the Structure of Open Containment theory that I have formulated while doing this research to explain the effectiveness of modern methods of clandestine coercion. For this purpose, literary theories such as Saussure’s semiotics and Marxist ideas of ideology and superstructure will be utilized.
