What he calls "mass culture" is something that seems to invoke in him a deep and secret shudder of distrust, even revulsion.<br /> <br />His pessimistic vision of American culture is consistent with his view of the condition of modern persons in industrialised societies. He dwells I think on a stark common ground with Beckett, to whose work he was strongly drawn. A private compact with failure seems the point from which each of the two begins. That's at least a sort of embarkation I can perhaps dimly understand. I find his pessimism oddly cheering. Of course he died in bad odor with the political Left, and his grave was pissed upon. There again, common ground.<br /><br />At any rate, his work, his commitment to a certain notion of truth in verbal and formal matters, putting things to a test of verity sentence-by-sentence in the method he called "negative dialectic", seems to me to run counter to that disdain for truth upon which postmodernism rests its rather nonchalant and weak case.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-85108476759149925322010-10-06T05:35:14.727-07:002010-10-06T05:35:14.727-07:00And if that doesn't work, they just take away ...And if that doesn't work, they just take away your job and ignore your phone calls and letters. The Adorno passage is still highly applicable, I think, but it finally makes me feel that I'm currently living in a "post-modern" period.
