Mental Health Supports for Sexual and Gender Minorities Who Experience Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse
Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) experience inequitable health outcomes due to oppressive social forces (e.g., homophobia, transphobia). For SGM experiencing intimate partner violence and abuse (IPV), help-seeking is challenged by concomitant navigation of the abusive partner and discriminatory forces toward SGM. Mental health providers are an important source of support who can provide SGM experiencing IPV with the tools and resources they nee…
Extreme Heavy Metal Music and Critical Theory
Extreme heavy metal music is transgressive, but can it be understood as resistant in Adorno's sense of “serious music?” This article seeks to show how extreme heavy metal music approaches what Adorno valued in serious music and the interests of critical theory. I begin with the method of negative dialectics—a difficult and contradictory notion. The philosophy of negative dialectics is, I argue, crucial for the material studies informed by it. I c…
Negative dialectics in music
Theodor Adorno argues that music contains an indelible collective undercurrent that can be revealed in its negative dialectic with Culture Industry music. This phenomenon of the communicative power of the ‘negative dialectic’ in popular music is the concern of this study. Charles Taylor observes that the rock concert embodies the expression of a continuing desire throughout secular modernity for a spiritual fulfillment that the reality or factici…
Communicative Power and Ideology in Popular Music
Music constitutes communities in an aesthetically distinct way because it relies so centrally on bodily innervations. Such bodily innervation resonates with cognition and affective life and creates communities of listeners and producers. Following Theodor Adorno’s critical theory of music, however, we must distinguish these musical communities within the political economy of late capitalism. I examine this communicative power of music by consider…
On the politics of perception in moving image technology
To claim that there is a politics to or expressed within media technology is of course by no means new, but it remains controversial and not always well understood. Walter Benjamin’s (1986b) essay from 1936 on the political import of media technology is often regarded as the starting point of such discussions, since it foregrounds a key theme in critical theory, namely the politics of perception. In what follows, I would like to review the import…
Social Justice and Communication
Kyo-Machiya
The machiya of Kyoto (kyo-machiya) are the most venerable category of Japan's traditional roadside 'burgher houses'. Surviving examples date from the eighteenth century but the development of the type from medieval times can be reconstructed from contemporary illustrations. Machiya were a feature of the capital's streetscape by the twelfth century, as homes of minor officials, servants and artisans. Their origins probably lie in row-houses (conce…
Culturizing the Social
Interpretability and social power, or, why postmodern advertising works
It is commonplace to recognize in contemporary advertising a ‘hyperreality’ associated with the greatly expanded and intensified use of images and simulations. While the predominance of an image culture seems to de-emphasize the cognitive generation of meaning that is achieved through linguistically mediated logic, consumers are nevertheless expected to respond with far greater ‘interpretive reflexivity’ to such advertising, a response that activ…

Rethinking the Communicative Turn
Rethinking the Communicative Turn
Assesses linguistic versus aesthetic visions of critical theory and their capacity to contribute to the analysis of contemporary democratic society. Contrasting aesthetic versus linguistic centered visions for critical theory and the analysis of contemporary democratic theory and society, Martin Morris draws special attention to the concept of communicative freedom. He problematizes the paradigm shift within critical theory from the "philosophy o…
Contradictions of Post-modern Consumerism and Resistance
There is cause to be hopeful of the potentials for collective political and aesthetic resistance to post-modern, consumer capitalism that is nevertheless drawn from and embodied in mass cultural experiences and practices. Such contestation tends to challenge capitalist hegemony outside the official circulation of power, but it can bring significant external pressure to bear upon the state. I will foreground an analysis of the importance of the ic…
Deliberation and Deconstruction
Theorists of deliberation and deconstruction each claim commitments to a more open and legitimate democracy than existing liberal democracy. Eschewing traditional foundations such as natural law, historical inheritance, or the constitutive formation of the nation, they seek to develop a theory of democracy that is more inclusive in conditions of social diversity and complexity. This article investigates the meaning of the open political space tha…
German Dis/Continuities
The twentieth-century history of few countries has been so profoundly marked by breaks, discontinuities, and ruptures as has Germany's--the radical breaks between the Wilhelmine empire, the Weimar Republic, and the National Socialist period; the end of history in 1945 and the dual reconstruction from Year Zero, followed by the reunification of post-1989 German. This special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly focuses on the many dimensions of these…

On the Logic of the Performative Contradiction
Jürgen Habermas levels the charge of performative contradiction as a scathing rebuke of inconsistency in his recent engagements with post-Nietzschean and Frankfurt critical theory. Focusing on this aspect of Habermas's critique of Theodor W. Adorno, the article argues against Habermas that Adorno's radical critique of reason actually pursues consistency in its radical critique of reason. It is contended that while Adorno's radical critique of rea…
Overcoming the Barricades
This article contains a study of the stand-off at Oka using the tools of political communication analysis. It offers an interpretation of the crisis that displays the discursive effacement of Native claims to identity and self-determination. Furthermore, it reveals as discursive the connection between the exercise of state power and influence and the relation of authority. The article argues that the crisis at Oka demonstrates how discipline, coe…
