#Adorno #criticaltheory #minimamoralia

Since I'm also a #musicologist, I've kind of waited for the appropriate moment for #adorno, to like get to know the guy's thinking for real. I am familiar with the dude, done some reading circles, occasional #MinimaMoralia here, #DialecticsOfEnlightment there. But now I've thought of aiming for the big fish: #NegativeDialectics and #AestheticalTheory. Like, get wasted with dodechaphony, atonality, and some #FreudMarxEngels stuff!
