Things Beyond Resemblance by Robert Hullot-Kentor

Things Beyond Resemblance by Robert Hullot-Kentor

Theodor W Adorno was a major twentieth-century philosopher and social critic whose writings on oppositional culture in art, music, and literature increasingly stand at the center of contemporary intellectual debate. This collection gathers together sixteen essays about the philosopher.

Here, under the optic of the artist, Adorno's philosophy once again begins to breathe.. -- Rolf Tiedemann, director emeritus of the T.W. Adorno-Archiv, Frankfurt, and editor of T.W. Adorno's Collected Writings I urge anyone who entertains doubts about the emperor's attires to read Hullot-Kentor's brilliant and definitive deconstruction of Jameson in Things Beyond Resemblance. -- Mike Davis, University of California, Irvine Although each section was written independently and can stand on its own, an exhilarating effect is produced by situating them together-much in the same way that an individual painting is transformed when thoughtfully incorporated into an exhibit. -- Thomas Wheatland, Assumption College Things Beyond Resemblance is a book Adorno scholars will appreciate... [and] should prove to be a valuable resource. -- Thomas Wheatland H-German

Robert Hullot-Kentor has taught philosophy, literature, and the arts at Harvard, Boston University, Stanford, and Long Island University. He has translated several of Adorno's major works, including Aesthetic Theory, and has recently published Current of Music, a reconstruction of Adorno's unfinished study of radio broadcast music.
