This book examines the heritage of critical theory from the
Hungarian Marxist philosopher Georg Lukacs through the early
Frankfurt School up to current issues of authoritarian politics and
democratisation. Interweaving discussion of art and literature,
utopian thought, and the dialectics of high art and mass culture,
it offers unique perspectives on an interconnected group of
left-wing intellectuals who sought to understand and resist their
society's systemic impoverishment of thought and experience.
Starting from Lukacs's reflections on art, utopia, and historical
action, it progresses to the Frankfurt School philosopher Theodor
W. Adorno's analyses of music, media, avant-garde and kitsch. It
concludes with discussions of erotic utopia, authoritarianism,
postsocialism, and organised deceit in show trials topics in which
the legacy of Lukacs and Frankfurt School critical theory continues
to be relevant today.
