It has been fifty years since Theodor Adorno's Aesthetic Theory was
first published in 1970, a year after his death. The work appeared
at a historical moment when political tension on the left was at
its height and the movements of pop art and postmodernism began
eclipsing the modernist aesthetic values Adorno cherished.
Aesthetic Theory was met with initial resistance, in part because
its aesthetic criteria appeared antiquated. This issue reckons with
the dialectical complexity of this often misunderstood and
misinterpreted work. Essay topics include the metaphysics of
landscapes, the potential of film as a medium for social critique,
Adorno's conception of the spiritual in art, and a nuanced reading
of his polemic against Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West.
Bringing together philosophers, art historians, musicologists, and
literary theorists, this issue shows that Aesthetic Theory still
has lessons that extend beyond disciplinary bounds. Contributors.
J. M. Bernstein, Hent de Vries, Peter E. Gordon, Eva Geulen, Martin
Jay, Sherry Lee, Max Pensky, with two additional essays on Adorno
by Mikko Immanen and Ricardo Samaniego de la Fuente
