The role of art in Marcuse's work has often been neglected,
misinterpreted or underplayed. His critics accused him of a
religion of art and aesthetics that leads to an escape from
politics and society. Yet, as this volume demonstrates, Marcuse
analyzes culture and art in the context of how it produces forces
of domination and resistance in society, and his writings on
culture and art generate the possibility of liberation and radical
social transformation. The material in this volume is a rich
collection of many of Marcuse's published and unpublished writings,
interviews and talks, including 'Lyric Poetry after Auschwitz',
reflections on Proust, and Letters on Surrealism; a poem by Samuel
Beckett for Marcuse's eightieth birthday with exchange of letters;
and many articles that explore the role of art in society and how
it provides possibilities for liberation. This volume will be of
interest to those new to Marcuse, generally acknowledged as a major
figure in the intellectual and social milieus of the 1960s and
1970s, as well as to the specialist, giving access to a wealth of
material from the Marcuse Archive in Frankfurt and his private
collection in San Diego, some of it published here in English for
the first time. A comprehensive introduction by Douglas Kellner
reflects on the genesis, development, and tensions within Marcuse's
aesthetic, while an afterword by Gerhard Schweppenhauser summarizes
their relevance for the contemporary era.
