Capitalizing on Culture - Critical Theory for Cultural Studies
Gunster juxtaposes Benjamin`s thoughts on memory, experience, and capitalism with Adorno`s critique of mass culture and modern aesthetics to illuminate the key position that the commodity form plays in each thinker`s work and to invigorate the dialectical complexity their writings acquire when considered together. This blending of perspectives is subsequently used to ground a theoretical interrogation of the comparative failure of cultural studies to engage substantively with the effect of commodification upon cultural practices. As a result, Capitalizing on Culture offers a fresh examination of critical theory that will be valuable to scholars studying the intersection of culture and capitalism.
