Egy Adorno-összeállítás elé

By this compilation we celebrate Adorno’s 120th birthday. Adorno’s lecture points to the importance of criticism for a future theory of aesthetics, while Gorsen questions the narrowing of the object of aesthetics to the analysis of canonized works, stressing that art thereby loses the subversive potential to which it was attributed for the student movements. In their interpretations, the authors reconstruct Adorno’s concept of “late work” and his analysis of the culture industry, and carry out a comparative analysis of Adorno and Deleuze.
