Adorno and Art: Aesthetic Theory Contra Critical Theory by James HellingsEnglish | May 6, 2014 | ISBN: 0230347886, 1349345083 | True EPUB | 213 pages | 0.4 MB
If the advancement toward the administered world is nearing completion, if spectacularised societies, industrialised cultures, and reified consciousness have taken control, then, Adorno and Art shows how radical and revolutionary Adorno's aesthetic theory of art's double character remains, and how complex, imaginative and oppositional, forms of art offer, perhaps, the best hope for overcoming damaged life.
