LP907 They're Only Animals (c)Christine Hankinson/Leeds Postcards2002 Theodor Adorno (1903-1969) was a German Jewish Intellectual who fled Nazi Germany for the U.S.A. in the 1930's. He became one of the leading exponents of cultural theories put out by the so called Frankfurt School (along with Habermas, Marcuse et al) His seminal critique of the culture industry posited that the media churned out a debased mass of unsophisticated sentimental products which replaced 'difficult' and critical reflective art forms which might lead people to question the dominant ideology.
