The Exact Sense in Which the Culture Industry No Longer Exists
Keywords:
culture industry, Theodor W. Adorno, barbarism, the primitive, historical experienceAbstract
The culture industry is one of Adorno's concepts whose ghost for certain has gone. But it is also the concept whose paradoxical existence, when examined, provides unrivaled insight into the contemporary fate of his whole work. The potentially illuminating paradox is this: While the idea of the culture industry shares in the evident exhaustion of Adorno's central concepts; while there is no doubt that its ghost is gone; this concept all the same lives a vigorous after-life, fully indifferent to the fact of its decease long ago.Downloads
