Walter Benjamin, “The Work Of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”
Herbert Marcuse, “The Aesthetic Dimension: Toward a Critique of Marxist Aesthetics” pages 54-73.
Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer, “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception”
We also had to read pages 88-103 and 130-133 of Herbert Marcuse’s “The Affirmative Character of Culture” but I can’t find a link to the text online. Buy it here on Amazon: Link.
Here’s “The Aesthetic Dimension: Toward a Critique of Marxist Aesthetics” on Amazon.
Night night. Happy reading.
I really like Walter Benjamin … he has a piece on collecting that is fascinating.
I love cultural studies in general – thanks for the links!
Thanks James, I really appreciate this huge effort you are doing. I’ll try to read all Leslie’s suggestions, so please keep posting…
Boqueria soon!
