Adorno on popular culture
Configuring the classics - musical experience and musical consciousness
Why Did Adorno 'Hate' Jazz
Adorno's jazz essays have attracted considerable notoriety not only for their negative and dismissive evaluation of jazz as music but for their outright dismissal of all the claims made on behalf of jazz by its exponents and admirers, even of claims concerning the black origins of jazz music. This paper offers a critical exposition of Adorno's views on jazz and outlines an alternative theory of the culture industry as the basis of a critique of A…

Constructing a Sociology for an Icon of Aesthetic Modernity
I address the problem of constructing a sociology of the artwork through analyzing one particular painting-Manet's Olympia.

Thus, it is not only modern art that is said to be high in abstraction but also the art of children, ‘primitives’ and ancient civilizations. Such an approach to abstraction is an impediment to the development of a proper psychology of the visual arts, one that can be reconciled to the ce…
The Intelligence of Feeling
Social Class Influence on the Amount and Type of Positive Evaluation of School Lessons
This paper seeks to argue that the widely accepted 'class-culture conflict model' is not adequate in describing the relationship between children of different social classes to the social structure of the school. It leads to a number of inferences about the psychological dispositions of working-class children which are questionable. In an empirical study of pupil attitudes towards in general, and the English lesson in particular, it was predicted…
