Understand America's transition from modern to postmodern culture through the 60s.
Call#: Van Pelt Library HM449 .D39 2004
This is the topic for my Media Theory essay wherein I will explore Adorno and Horkheimer's assertions established in "The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception." Using this chapter as a foundation for contemporary theory, I will exaine how other theorists respond to the arguments presented by the two theorists and how the theories that emerge from The Dialectic of Enlightenment chapter are manifested in Los Angeles as a urban and cultural space.
This is the principal text upon which my paper revolves. It is the starting point for the theoretical arguments that shape my ideas about LA, the Culture Industry and how Capitalism has ultimately subverted the American Dream. I will be examining, specifically, the chapter entitled, “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Decption.” The assertions made by Adorno and Horkheimer in their essay lay the foundation for subsequent theory that outlines the effects of Capitalism, the consumerism it generates and the results of the Entertainment industry in defining American identity. The points I examine within the specific context of how LA embodies these problems are taken initially from this text.
