Cultura De Vidro

The dialogue between Adorno and Benjamin about the impact of the capitalist logic in modern man experience is intense and permeated by converging perspectives, that diverge in a determined moment.According to Benjamin, reality's fragmentary nature, conditioned by market's acceleration, interferes in memory, impoverishing the capability to exchange experiences and narrate them.Adorno perceives that this poverty of experience degenerates the art, that is used as a manner of cultural domination, responsible of introducing a stereotyped pattern.The glass culture is a response to the coldness of human relations and the dullness of conscience.Inspite of the similarities both philosophers self-introduce themselves under distinct perspectives, justifying the theory of differences each one defends.At the end of this reflection, different paths are taken to think the value that art has in this impovered culture and what political potential it still keeps in front of the sterilized glass culture
