ADORNO READING

The reading for next Tuesday, Adorno's "On Popular Music" is available through the Erserves system for the class. The password is "soc490".

Questions to keep in mind:

1) What does Adorno think is the relationship b/t the culture industry and the consumer?

2) What do you think he gets "right" and what he gets "wrong"?

3) How can Adorno's ideas apply to contemporary times, more than half a century later?

Hi professor Wang. I tried accessing the reading but it wasn't available on Ereserves.
