{"product_id":"georg-luk-cs-and-critical-tyrus-miller-9781399502412","title":"Georg Luk當s and Critical Theory: Aesthetics, History, Utopia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the heritage of critical theory from the Hungarian Marxist philosopher Georg Luk當s 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 Luk當s'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 Luk當s and Frankfurt School critical theory continues to be relevant today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tyrus Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399502417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399502412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023","brand":"Tyrus Miller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075663196415,"sku":"9781399502412","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_486ba965-c6f7-40ce-839c-cc0e1fbcd17f.jpg?v=1685460738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/georg-luk-cs-and-critical-tyrus-miller-9781399502412","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
