Description

Dismissed as a miserable elitist who condemned popular culture in the name of 'high art', Theodor W.

Adorno (1903-1969) is one of the most provocative and important yet least understood of contemporary thinkers.

This book challenges this popular image and re-examines Adorno as a utopian philosopher who believed authentic art could save the world.

Adorno Reframed is not only a comprehensive introduction to the reader coming to Adorno for the first time, but also an important re-evaluation of this founder of the Frankfurt School.

Using a wealth of concrete illustrations from popular culture, Geoffrey Boucher recasts Adorno as a revolutionary whose subversive irony and profoundly historical aesthetics defended the integrity of the individual against social totality.
