Culture Industry Today. Steve Jobs, an Exercise on Critical Theory
Keywords:
critical theory, capitalism, last men, happiness, Steve JobsAbstract
The article drafts an interpretation of one of the most outstanding phenomenon produced by contemporary cultural industry: the life, death and miracles of the “big” Steve Jobs. The occurrence of this phenomenon, the article argues, forces critical theory into a process of self-actualization and into a detachment from the prevailing diagnosis of our times, i.e. the diagnosis of capitalism as being the triumph of the “last men” and of their tiny happiness.Downloads
