CRÍTICA DA REPRESENTAÇÃO E CRÍTICA DO CAPITALISMO: FILOSOFIA, ARTE E PRÁXIS EM THEODOR ADORNO

This essay highlights the role played by the Marxian notions of exchange, abstract labour and technological-productive potential in the Adornian theories of conceptual representation, philosophy of history and aesthetics. The immanent analysis of several relevant passages from the Negative Dialectics, the Dialectics of Enlightenment and the Aesthetic Theory is undertaken, while a continuous argumentation is constructed, emphasising the consistency of the intellectual project that Adorno deploys in those works.
