Cover of Robert W. Witkin: Adorno on Popular Culture (PDF)

Robert W. Witkin unpacks Adorno’s notoriously difficult critique of popular culture in an engaging and accessible style, looking first at the development of the overarching theories of authority, commodification and negative dialectics. He then goes on to consider Adorno’s writing on specific aspects of popular culture such as radio, film and popular music.
