Book Synopsis Adorno, Aesthetics, Dissonance by : William S. Allen
Download or read book Adorno, Aesthetics, Dissonance written by William S. Allen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adorno's aesthetics are one of the most important philosophical analyses of the 20th century, but their development remains unclear. Adorno, Aesthetics, Dissonance is the first book to provide a detailed study of how Adorno's thinking of aesthetics developed and to show the different dimensions that came together to make it uniquely powerful. Principal among these dimensions are his intense interest in music and his historical and materialist approach. In addition, by studying how Adorno's aesthetics arose through interactions with different thinkers, particularly Kracauer, Horkheimer, and Schoenberg, it becomes clear that his thought changes in its relation to dialectics. As a result, Adorno's thinking comes to broaden the understanding of aesthetics to include the sphere of sensuality, and in doing so transforms both aesthetics and dialectics through a notion of dissonance, which in turn has substantial implications for the relation of his thinking to praxis.

Download or read book Aesthetics written by Theodor W. Adorno and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of lectures on aesthetics, given by Adorno in the winter semester of 1958–9, formed the foundation for his later Aesthetic Theory, widely regarded as one of his greatest works. The lectures cover a wide range of topics, from an intense analysis of the work of Georg Lukács to a sustained reflection on the theory of aesthetic experience, from an examination of works by Plato, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard and Benjamin, to a discussion of the latest experiments of John Cage, attesting to the virtuosity and breadth of Adorno's engagement. All the while, Adorno remains deeply connected to his surrounding context, offering us a window onto the artistic, intellectual and political confrontations that shaped life in post-war Germany. This volume will appeal to a broad range of students and scholars in the humanities and social sciences, as well as anyone interested in the development of critical theory.

Book Synopsis Art and Aesthetics After Adorno by : J. M. Bernstein
Download or read book Art and Aesthetics After Adorno written by J. M. Bernstein and published by . This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodor Adorno's Aesthetic Theory (1970) offers one of the most powerful and comprehensive critiques of art and of the discipline of aesthetics ever written. The work offers a deeply critical engagement with the history and philosophy of aesthetics and with the traditions of European art through the middle of the 20th century. It is coupled with ambitious claims about what aesthetic theory ought to be. But the cultural horizon of Adorno's Aesthetic Theory was the world of high modernism, and much has happened since then both in theory and in practice. Adorno's powerful vision of aesthetics calls for reconsideration in this light. Must his work be defended, updated, resisted, or simply left behind? This volume gathers new essays by leading philosophers, critics, and theorists writing in the wake of Adorno in order to address these questions. They hold in common a deep respect for the power of Adorno's aesthetic critique and a concern for the future of aesthetic theory in response to recent developments in aesthetics and its contexts.
Book Synopsis Fullness of Dissonance by : Daniel C. Melnick
Download or read book Fullness of Dissonance written by Daniel C. Melnick and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the modern period, the bond between music and literature constituted a crucial and influential idea for Conrad and Eliot, Mann and Rilke, and many other writers. For modern novelists in particular this idea has provided the model and rationale for the experimental liberation of narrative form and its desired effect on the reader. Critics later in the twentieth century have undertaken analyses of various contrapuntal, sonata, and other musical structures in fiction, and some critics have studied the influence of various composers on novelists. Fullness of Dissonance is concerned with the related matter of how the aesthetics of music influenced the writers and texts of modern fiction.

Book Synopsis Negativity and Mediation in Adorno's Literary Aesthetic by : Thomas James Davies
Download or read book Negativity and Mediation in Adorno's Literary Aesthetic written by Thomas James Davies and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodor W. Adorno's theoretical work on aesthetics cannot be isolated from his other philosophical pursuits. Central to his philosophy was a commitment to the negative articulation of phenomena, a position that stemmed from his conviction that the liquidated citizen of the administered world was blinded by the manipulative apparatus of the culture industry and thus unable to express or perceive truth that was articulated positively. Only a noncommunicative language of resistance through dissonance could negatively express truth. Adorno looked to art as the model for such expression. ...
Book Synopsis Adorno’s Aesthetics as a Literary Theory of Art by : Mario Farina
Download or read book Adorno’s Aesthetics as a Literary Theory of Art written by Mario Farina and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-examines Adorno’s aesthetics, developing a new literary approach that aims to unveil hidden elements of Adorno’s thought. Farina proposes to read Adorno’s aesthetics as a literary theory of art, showing its efficacy in its comprehension of the most advanced trends of contemporary literature. As a result, this book provides an image of Adorno’s aesthetics as a complete, satisfying and consistent philosophy of literature, a robust theory which is able to stand its ground in contemporary aesthetic debate. Challenging the prevalent prejudice that defines Adorno’s thought, and especially his aesthetics, as ‘modernist’, Farina argues that Adorno's philosophy of literature shows its value precisely in its application to and comprehension of postmodern literature, such as the works of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo and David Foster Wallace. Precise and compelling, this book provides a new paradigm for understanding Adorno’s theory of artwork, serving as an essential reference for researches investigating the relation between classical critical theory and contemporary art.
Book Synopsis Heine and Critical Theory by : Willi Goetschel
Download or read book Heine and Critical Theory written by Willi Goetschel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heinrich Heine's role in the formation of Critical Theory has been systematically overlooked in the course of the successful appropriation of his thought by Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, and the legacy they left, in particular for Adorno, Benjamin and the Frankfurt School. This book examines the critical connections that led Adorno to call for a “reappraisal” of Heine in a 1948 essay that, published posthumously, remains under-examined. Tracing Heine's Jewish difference and its liberating comedy of irreverence in the thought of the Frankfurt School, the book situates the project of Critical Theory in the tradition of a praxis of critique, which Heine elevates to the art of public controversy. Heine's bold linking of aesthetics and political concerns anticipates the critical paradigm assumed by Benjamin and Adorno. Reading Critical Theory with Heine recovers a forgotten voice that has theoretically critical significance for the formation of the Frankfurt School. With Heine, the project of Critical Theory can be understood as the sustained effort to advance the emancipation of the affects and the senses, at the heart of a theoretical vision that recognizes pleasure as the liberating force in the fight for freedom.

Book Synopsis My friend Theodor W. Adorno - thoughts discourse reception aesthetic by : Heinz Duthel
Download or read book My friend Theodor W. Adorno - thoughts discourse reception aesthetic written by Heinz Duthel and published by neobooks. This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Sesame! I want to go out. "The Hegelian motif of art as a consciousness of need has been confirmed beyond everything that can be foreseen from it." (Adorno 1973: 35) Theodor W. Adorno's conception of art occupies the central position in his entire work. In addition to philosophy and sociology, it is above all literature and music that Adorno's thought deals extensively with. In it he sees the only possible trailblazer for a more just society. In the modern age, only art is still able to create a state that is free of domination, i.e. to oppose the subjective means of end, rationality of use and domination. "Those were still good times when a criticism of the political economy of this society could be written that it took at its own ratio ." (Adorno 1987: 284) With his concept of art, Adorno is directed against any practice that, on the Marxist side, did not lead to the promised Telos, but to totalitarianism and mass murder. Beyond any ideology, Adorno tries to find a possible way out of a society saturated with domination in aesthetic reception. Similar to Habermas, who, based on Adorno's critical philosophy, sees a way out of the subject-object separation in casual communication (Habermas 1988: 346), the avant-garde works of art are, according to Adorno, the communication instance that mediates subject and object with one another without the object and the subject is suppressed. Mastery of nature can be overcome by reason becoming reflexive. Here Adorno can be read as Hegel's legacy, since he was already trying to find a way out of the dichotomy between subject and object in modern dialectics, which modernity was most strongly represented by Kant (Habermas 1988: 27). However, Hegel is criticized by Adorno for the concept of conceptual thinking, since this thinking is identifying and thus did not lead out of the aporias of modernity, i.e. the reification of objects (nature), but even radicalized them (Wellmer 1990: 137) . Adorno developed his own neo-Marxist aesthetic theory, which was primarily directed against the traditional German idealism. He describes it as "materialistic-dialectical aesthetics", since it can only be determined in relation to its other, empirical reality, and especially as a process (Adorno 1973: 12). Bourgeois art also tends to shift the social aspect to the outside, i.e. to the extra-social, uncritical (Adorno 1973: 334). Isolated passages of the "Endgame" by Samuel Beckett in this work should lead to a deeper understanding of Adorno's conception of art. However, since its scope is limited, a more detailed interpretation of the piece is not given. Beckett himself disliked this, by the way. Rather, fragmentary text passages serve to clarify Adorno's theses. Art as dissonance

Book Synopsis Adorno's Modernism by : Espen Hammer
Download or read book Adorno's Modernism written by Espen Hammer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodor W. Adorno's aesthetics has dominated discussions about art and aesthetic modernism since World War II, and continues to inform contemporary theorizing. Situating Adorno's aesthetic theory in the context of post-Kantian European philosophy, Espen Hammer explores Adorno's critical view of art as engaged in reconsidering fundamental features of our relation to nature and reality. His book is structured around what Adorno regarded as the contemporary aesthetician's overarching task: to achieve a vision of the fate of art in the modern world, while demonstrating its unique cognitive potential. Hammer offers a lively examination of Adorno's work through the central problem of what full human self-actualization would require, and also discusses the wider philosophical significance of aesthetic modernism. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of social philosophy, art, and aesthetics.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive, critical and accessible account of Theodor W. Adorno's materialist-dialectical aesthetic theory of art from a contemporary perspective, this volume shows how Adorno's critical theory is awash with images crystallising thoughts to such a degree that it has every reason to be described as aesthetic.
Book Synopsis Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism by : Robin Truth Goodman
Download or read book Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism written by Robin Truth Goodman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having studied philosophy at a time when its traditions were being seriously uprooted by the atrocities of World War II, Theodor Adorno had an enormous impact on thinking about aesthetics at a transitional historical moment when the philosophy of science and leftist politics were looking for new ground. Moreover, with his focus on the rise of commercial culture and its effects on identity-construction, Adorno can be said to have reinvigorated modernist concerns by introducing the prevailing terms in our contemporary versions of cultural politics and cultural studies. Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism traces Adorno's social and aesthetic ideas as they appear and reappear in his corpus. As per other volumes in the series, this book is divided into three parts. The first, “Adorno's Keywords,” is organized by the aesthetic terms around which Adorno's philosophy circulates. The second section is devoted to “Adorno and Aesthetics.” While Adorno's philosophical viewpoints influenced modernism's evolution into the 21st century, the history of modernist aesthetics also shaped his philosophical approaches. The third and final part, “Adorno's Constellations,” discusses how aesthetic form in Adorno's thinking underlies the terms of his social analysis.
