The Frankfurt School Knew Trump Was Coming
21 Wednesday Dec 2016
Posted in Adorno in Context, Frankfurt School, General, Theodor W. Adorno
Alex Ross has a piece in the New Yorker that should be of interest to many.
[Adorno’s] moment of vindication is arriving now. With the election of Donald Trump, the latent threat of American authoritarianism is on the verge of being realized, its characteristics already mapped by latter-day sociologists who have updated Adorno’s “F-scale” for fascist tendencies. […] As early as the forties, Adorno saw American life as a kind of reality show: “Men are reduced to walk-on parts in a monster documentary film which has no spectators, since the least of them has his bit to do on the screen.” Now a businessman turned reality-show star has been elected President. Like it or not, Trump is as much a pop-culture phenomenon as he is a political one.
