Founded in the interwar years, the Frankfurt School gave rise to an array of reflections on modernity, emancipation, and ideology that have continued to inform critical theory and are now eliciting renewed interest. In this seminar we focus on various models developed by Frankfurt School theorists for approaching cultural phenomena. Following a brief review of Hegelian and Marxian legacies at work in the Frankfurt School, we consider relevant works by Walter Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, Max Horkheimer, and Theodor W. Adorno.
