In my essay I am thinking of discussing what culture would be like without a profit motive. So basically I will be taking Adorno's article and be extremely critical with his ideas and see how they play a role in the world today. I think that it would be extremely fascinating to interpret what the relationships in the world would be like without any sort of underlying profit motivation.
I think this is a really good idea to write about. I would really enjoy reading this - if culture were not for profit, what would culture be like? I feel like there would be a lot more leeway for expressing individual, creative ideas, since there would not be as much of a restriction on what we would like to talk about since certain things (pop culture wise) sell more than others.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a challenging, but interesting, essay. Profit plays such a huge role in basically everything it's hard to imagine what anything would be like without it. Would there still even be a culture industry without profit? Anyway, I look forward to reading this.
