Vadim Zakharov: Adorno Monument (2003)Theodor Adorno’s (1903—1969) work forms an acknowledged body of cultural theory and criticism of the thoroughly administrated capitalist culture, and as such it is today perhaps more acute than ever. In this volume we wish to offer new insights into Adorno, not only as a theoretician but as a person, too. Under scrutiny are Adorno's theory of the culture industry; his musical philosophy; his aesthetic theory vis-a-vis Anselm Kiefer's work; as well as his personal history and private life.
