Teodor Adorno 's Critique on Mass Culture

Criticism of Popular Culture of Teodor Adorno "When faced with the problem of measuring culture, I understand that culture must be such conditions, except for the spirit that can measure it." - Teodor Adorno We can follow the simple logic of "education, mass communication techniques, culture creation and dissemination" that we can get "high culture". In other words, only groups of privilege class - nobility and bourgeoisie - are obtained (Curran, 1997). Until the 20th century, this trend began to change with changes in political situation, technology evolution, and economic liberalization.

In other words, only groups of privilege class - nobility and bourgeoisie - are obtained (Curran, 1997). - The clarity and semantic phenomenon of phenomenon clearly describes the phenomenon as perceived as perceived; it is a life experience (LoBiondo - Wood, G., Haber, J. 2010). When reading research, the reader may feel that they need to draw their own conclusions about the research phenomenon, researchers did not explicitly state

In most cases, critical theorists have criticized popular culture or popular culture. For example, Adorno criticizes "commercialization, rationalization, fetishism, and materialization of music materials" (Kellner, 1989, p. 124). Especially Adorno regards jazz as standardization and commercialization, "At first glance spontaneity and improvisation are calculated in advance and the scope of permission is limited as much as clothing and other fashion fields" . , P. 126). Although Adorno's criticism has the truth, he can not explain innovation and new development with this unilateral approach. Adorno is not in the form of pop culture, it tends to regard the traditional form of "high culture" as music of an art gallery or a German composer.

There are several ways, but one of the most important ways of criticism comes from the Frankfurt school. Frankfurt School, the hometown of Adorno, Marcuse, Habermas, regards culture as a system. Adorno calls this a "cultural industry". In Gramsci 's prison note, culture became the embody of ideology. This is an attractive small piece of academic world and I am afraid it will be the mainstream day. For years, what we now call alt - right has always been trapped by 'cultural Marxism'. Unless they have completely wrong meaning to that term. Whether deliberate or not, they leak many internet inks and misunderstand Adorno and Gramsci. This ignorant leader is Andrew Brett Barth. A part of the myth of Bright Bart is that he is a left-handed "seeing the light" and has become a solid cultural reactionary. In the interview, Bright Bart repeatedly used his educational background as a source of his past ignorance and subsequent reform.
