About this book

Adorno's critique of popular culture is notoriously hard going, and Robert W. Witkin sets out to make it accessible. The book begins with the main theories in Adorno's work, including authority, commodification and negative dialectics, before turning to his thinking about mass culture.

Later chapters look at how Adorno wrote about particular forms of popular culture, among them radio, film, television and popular music. Subjects include the decay of 'aura', star power and the culture industry, with one chapter examining the films of Woody Allen.

The book suits students and researchers in sociology, media studies and cultural theory. Routledge published this first edition in 2002.ISBN-13: 9780415268240.
