{"product_id":"adorno-reframed-geoff-boucher-9781848859470","title":"Adorno Reframed: Interpreting Key Thinkers for the Arts","description":"Dismissed as a miserable elitist who condemned popular culture in the name of 'high art', Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969) is one of the most provocative and important yet least understood of contemporary thinkers. This book challenges this popular image and re-examines Adorno as a utopian philosopher who believed authentic art could save the world. Adorno Reframed is not only a comprehensive introduction to the reader coming to Adorno for the first time, but also an important re-evaluation of this founder of the Frankfurt School. Using a wealth of concrete illustrations from popular culture, Geoffrey Boucher recasts Adorno as a revolutionary whose subversive irony and profoundly historical aesthetics defended the integrity of the individual against social totality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoff Boucher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848859473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848859470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
