Jonathan Emmesedi<p>🧵 1/5<br>A few weeks ago, I picked up Theodor Adorno's "Minima Moralia", started it, but was then distracted, and so put it aside. </p><p>Being distracted from Adorno is easily explicable, as I don't think even his admirers would describe him as an easy read.</p><p>Nevertheless, I have struggled through some Adorno before, so I went back to "Minima Moralia" more recently and read the collected essays and aphorisms from cover to cover.</p><p>I am aware, of course, that were Adorno to be alive today, he would point to my beliefs and preoccupations as evidence of the "damaged life" he describes and deplores. For critical theorists, my reformist social democracy, my belief in the possibility of a science of society, and the joy I take in Richard Strauss, Jean Sibelius, and Kpop are all signs of a pitiful enslavement to a naive positivism and the kitsch culture of capitalism.</p><p>Nevertheless, I found "Minima Moralia" rewarding, if at times frustrating, reading. I read the Verso edition; I have heard criticisms of older translations of Adorno, of which this is one, it having been first published in 1974 by New Left Books. In this thread, I'm going to link to a newer translation by Dennis Redmond.</p><p>Overall, Adorno puts forward a number of arguments about culture, intellectuals, and commodification under capitalism. For many years from the mid seventies onwards, he was regarded a grouchy elitist whose high modernist cultural critique could, in the light of Birmingham School cultural studies, be seen as at best guilty of a simplistic, uninformed by Gramsci, and demobilisingly moralistic approach to popular culture and at worst of a marxisant high toryism.</p><p>These criticisms are not without foundation. Reading "Minima Moralia" can be at times the trying experience of being subjected to page upon page of western marxist curmudgeonry.</p><p>Yet some of thoughts on the culture of capitalism struck me as meriting my renewed consideration, even though....</p><p><a href="https://www.versobooks.com/products/1035-minima-moralia?srsltid=AfmBOoqFv94K1G91IPlOuAP1ZbMfVnqa-PjpM5dR3FFq2tleYY0p-viE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">versobooks.com/products/1035-m</span><span class="invisible">inima-moralia?srsltid=AfmBOoqFv94K1G91IPlOuAP1ZbMfVnqa-PjpM5dR3FFq2tleYY0p-viE</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/TheodorAdorno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheodorAdorno</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MinimaMoralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MinimaMoralia</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CriticalTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalTheory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CulturalCritique" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalCritique</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CulturalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalStudies</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Marxism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marxism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FrankfurtSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FrankfurtSchool</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Adorno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Adorno</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SocialTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialTheory</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Here we finally have it: when the critics accuse the university of being some kind of Marxist indoctrination factory, they do not mean that the university is breeding actual Marxists. They believe that too many people come out of college believing that oppression is real and that it is wrong. That’s how DeLuz can call the Palestine protests the product of Marxist indoctrination. But the truth is that people join these protests because they see something happening that horrifies them: the killing of tens of thousands of people by a heavily-armed military backed by the world’s most powerful country. It’s true that this bears a resemblance to Marxism in the sense that Marx, too, looked out at his time and saw a horror: people toiling themselves to death in the “dark Satanic mills” of the British industrial system, people who did almost nothing in their lives but work and whose bodies and minds were being destroyed to produce profit. He saw oppression, just as people look at Palestine today and see oppression. But one needs no “indoctrination” in order to perceive that reality. All it takes is an open mind and a bit of learning, which can be a very dangerous thing to those who would prefer we swallow whatever dogmas we grew up with."</p><p><a href="https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-myth-of-the-marxist-university" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">currentaffairs.org/news/the-my</span><span class="invisible">th-of-the-marxist-university</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Marxism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marxism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CriticalThinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalThinking</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CriticalTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalTheory</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Universities</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HigherEd</span></a></p>

william.maggos<p>Everybody wants the best possible outcome. Some perceive <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEI</span></a> as leading to lower quality hires and <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/criticaltheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>criticaltheory</span></a> leading to a misunderstanding of history. Taken too far, I think both can do that. But done well, they both do the opposite. They allow us a fuller view of what's out there, correcting for our own natural bias and the cultural bias built up over generations of having too few have more of a say in the public conversation. But getting this right won't be easy. <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/wokeism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wokeism</span></a> <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/LiberalValues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiberalValues</span></a></p>
