Culture Industry, a Feminist Reading
Paraules clau:
Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, culture industry, feminism, social reproductionResum
This article revisits the concept of culture industry and seeks to reconceptualize it from a feminist perspective. My aim is to examine the concept's sociological origins and explore a potential interpretation through the lens of feminist social reproduction theories. This approach involves a critical interrogation of the foundational premises of the concept, considering how feminist theories of social reproduction can offer a nuanced understanding of its dynamics and implications. By doing so, the article aspires to illuminate the intersections between cultural production, technology, and gendered social structures. Finally, the article aims to shed light on how the concept of culture industry can contribute to current feminist discussions.
