   Extractions: Preface by Lydia Goehr "Things Beyond Resemblance." "Adorno is among the most potent theoretical legislators of our time. Hullot-Kentor is a brilliant expositor of his ideas, vigorously defending many of their seemingly problematic implications. He writes with an elegant brio all his own, bringing wit and fire to the most difficult subjects and exploring them in provocative and imaginative ways. This scintillating collection will doubtless attract considerable attention." Collected Writings Theodor W. Adorno was a major twentieth-century philosopher and social critic whose writings on oppositional culture in art, music, and literature increasingly stand at the center of contemporary intellectual debate. In this excellent collection, Robert Hullot-Kentor, widely regarded as the most distinguished American translator and commentator on Adorno, gathers together sixteen essays he has written about the philosopher over the past twenty years. Things Beyond Resemblance is a timely and richly analytical collection crucial to the study of critical theory, aesthetics, continental philosophy, and Adorno.

Adorno argued that popular media are the product of a 'culture industry' which keeps the population passive, preserving dominance of capitalism at the expense of true happiness. Mass media are standardised, and the pleasure they offer are illusory, the results of false needs which our culture creates. with: Adorno argued that capitalism fed people with the products of a 'culture industry' - the opposite of 'true' art - to keep them passively satisfied and politically apathetic. Adorno saw that capitalism had not become more precarious or close to collapse, as Marx had predicted. Instead, it had seemingly become more entrenched. Where Marx had focussed on economics, Adorno placed emphasis on the role of culture in securing the status quo. Popular culture was identified as the reason for people's passive satisfaction and lack of interest in overthrowing the capitalist system. Adorno suggested that culture industries churn out a debased mass of unsophisticated, sentimental products which have replaced the more 'difficult' and critical art forms which might lead people to actually question social life.

In its longing for this, which means a dispensation from work, the bourgeois idea of love transcends bourgeois society. But in erecting truth directly amid the general untruth, it perverts the former into the latter. 172 But he who dies in despair has lived his whole life in vain. 167

    Rethinking the Communicative Turn adorno, Habermas, and the Problem of Communicative Freedom by Martin Morris (2001); theodor W adorno An Introduction  
    http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/adorno.htm
    
    Extractions: Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno (1903-1969) German philosopher, sociologist, and essayist, member of the "Frankfurt School," a group of intellectuals working at the Institute for Social Research, loosely associated to the University of Frankfurt. Adorno's theories were much based on the writings of Hegel, Marx, and Freud. Central in his philosophy was the dialectic method of argumentation in which the thought proceeds by contradiction, a collision of ideas from thesis to antithesis. From the opposites a higher truth may be reached by synthesis, which leads to a new thesis and so on. However, Adorno did not believe that all contradictions can be solved and in Negative Dialektik (1966) he did not only reject utopian as the possibility of total reconciliation but all permanent concepts. Adorno's other major works include The Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947) and Aesthetic Theory "The dual nature of artworks as autonomous structures and social phenomena results in oscillating criteria: Autonomous works provoke the verdict of social indifference and ultimately of being criminally reactionary; conversely, works that make socially univocal discursive judgments thereby negate art as well as themselves."

    Extractions: Theodore Adorno Introduction Theodor Adorno was a philosopher, critic, and theorist who generated a vast body of works on aspects of society and culture. His interests ranged from classical philosophy to psychology to music to sociology. He wrote on topics as far-flung as Beethoven, anti-semitism, and film. Adorno is best known as a member of the Frankfurt School, the informal name for a group of thinkers employed by the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany. These intellectuals developed and practiced a mode of understanding called critical theory (see Key Terms below). Other famous members of the Frankfurt School include Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, and Herbert Marcuse. The Frankfurt School theorists all shared a profound indebtedness to the work of Karl Marx. Adorno was also influenced by Hegel, Kant, Heidegger and Lukacs. Adorno's writing is notoriously difficult to understand. He has occasionally been criticized on this account. But, as is the case with deconstructionists such as Spivak or Derrida, Adorno's form enacts his content. Those unfamiliar with Adorno's work are encouraged to take up the challenge; careful reading is rewarded with immense richness of theoretical and critical material. Biography On September 11, 1903, Theodor Ludwig Wiesengrund was born in Frankfurt am Main. The son of a Jewish wine merchant, Oskar Wiesengrund, and a Catholic from Corsica, Maria Calvelli-Adorno, Adorno adopted his mother's surname during the late 1930's while in exile from Nazi Germany. Adorno began studying music and philosophy at a young age. His mother was a professional singer, and his aunt, who lived with the family, was an accomplished pianist. As a teenager, Adorno studied Kant with a family friend, Siegfried Kracauer, who later became a noted cultural critic and film theorist in Weimar Germany. Adorno attended the University of Frankfurt, where he took courses in philosophy, sociology, psychology and music. At age 21, he submitted a critique of Husserl entitled, "The Transcendence of the Real and the Noematic in Husserl's Phenomenology" as his doctoral dissertation. From 1925-1928, Adorno studied music in Vienna under Alban Berg with hopes of becoming a composer.

False needs are cultivated in people by the culture industries. These are needs which can be both created and satisfied by the capitalist system, and which replace people's 'true' needs - freedom, full expression of human potential and creativity, genuine creative happiness. Commodity fetishism (promoted by the marketing, advertising and media industries) means that social relations and cultural experiences are objectified in terms of money. We are delighted by something because of how much it cost.
