The cultural and creative industries have become a vibrant field of research in recent years. Increasing their contributions to GDP and encompassing a growing share of the labour market, cultural and creative industries have become a common feature in many areas of policy and research, and, especially in urban contexts, have become associated with significant spatial transformations. While the origin of the concept of ‘culture industry’ in the work of Adorno and Horkheimer is often acknowledged, contemporary scholarship in the field of cultural and creative industries has typically paid very little attention to the theoretical work – specifically Adorno’s critique of ‘identity thinking’ and the importance of contradiction and the preponderance of the object which formed the basis of his negative dialectics – which underpinned his arguments concerning the commodification and standardization of cultural products. Consequently, important insights in Adorno’s work are frequently overlooked in contemporary accounts of cultural and creative industries. This article situates Adorno’s arguments on the culture industry within his negative dialectics, and by applying his ‘logic of disintegration’ – or ‘prism’ – to the ‘creative city’, makes an argument for how Adorno’s ideas continue provide important insights into the geographies of cultural and creative industries in postindustrial society.

As part of a wider ‘geographical’ reading of writings by Theodor W. Adorno, the Frankfurt School critical theorist, energised by a wish to discern possible lineaments of an ‘anti-fascist geographical imagination’, this paper engages in detail with Adorno’s aphoristic ruminations gathered together as Minima Moralia (2005 [1951]). With its close-grained attention to ‘minimal’ or ‘minor’ things - a bewildering diversity of objects, practices and events that might normally be reckoned of little account - this text exemplifies what Adorno elsewhere frames as a concern for the ‘micrological’, as well as signposting many dimensions of what he will later present more systematically as ‘negative dialectics’ (Adorno 1973 [1966]). This paper reconstructs the multiple geographies integral to many passages in Minima Moralia, working towards an exegesis of what is claimed there about ‘distant nearness’ and ‘space enough between them’, at the same time inspecting Adorno’s austere opposition to ‘affirmationism’ but also readiness to be a phenomenologist - even one with occasional leanings towards a more ‘romantic’ celebration of objects, however unpleasant - of the nothing-much.
作为法兰克福学派批判理论家西奥多·w·阿多诺(Theodor W. Adorno)著作的更广泛的“地理”阅读的一部分,他希望能够辨别“反法西斯地理想象”的可能特征,本文详细介绍了阿多诺的警句沉思,汇集在一起作为“最低限度的道德”(2005[1951])。通过对“最小的”或“次要的”事物的密切关注——对象、实践和事件的令人眼花缭乱的多样性,通常可能被认为是微不足道的——这篇文章例证了阿多诺在其他地方所构建的对“微观”的关注,以及他后来将更系统地呈现为“消极辩证法”的许多维度(阿多诺1973[1966])。本文重建了《道德最小化》中许多段落中不可或缺的多重地理,致力于对那里声称的“遥远的接近”和“它们之间足够的空间”进行注释,同时检查阿多诺对“肯定主义”的严厉反对,但也准备成为一名现象学家-即使偶尔倾向于对物体进行更“浪漫”的庆祝,无论多么不愉快-什么都没有。
