This interdisciplinary volume revisits Adorno’s lesser-known
work, Minima Moralia, and makes the case for its application to the
most urgent concerns of the 21st century. Contributing authors
situate Adorno at the heart of contemporary debates on the
ecological crisis, the changing nature of work, the idea of utopia,
and the rise of fascism. Exploring the role of critical pedagogy in
shaping responses to fascistic regimes, alongside discussions of
extractive economies and the need for leisure under increasingly
precarious working conditions, this volume makes new connections
between Minima Moralia and critical theory today. Another line of
focus is the aphoristic style of Minima Moralia and its connection
to Adorno’s wider commitment to small and minor literary forms,
which enable capitalist critique to be both subversive and poetic.
This critique is further located in Adorno’s discussion of a
utopia that is reliant on complete rejection of the totalising
system of capitalism. The distinctive feature of such a utopia for
Adorno is dependent upon individual suffering and subsequent
survival, an argument this book connects to the mutually
constitutive relationship between ecological destruction and
right-wing authoritarianism. These timely readings of Adorno’s
Minima Moralia teach us to adapt through our survival, and to
pursue a utopia based on his central ideas. In the process, opening
up theoretical spaces and collapsing the physical borders between
us in the spirit of Adorno’s lifelong project.
