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.
