Abstract

Frankfurt School was the embryo of a group of European theorists who dedicated themselves to develop a critical theory of society. Walter Benjamin’s and Theodor Adorno’s intellectual work were the basis to verify the legacy of the Frankfurt School nowadays in the beginning of the XXI century. This paper also intends to understand how the concepts of cultural industry and the critical theory can be read from the confrontation of ideas of some of their critics, using the literature review as a method.

Summary

A Escola de Frankfurt foi o embrião de um grupo de teóricos europeus que se dedicou a elaborar uma teoria crítica sobre a sociedade. A partir da produção intelectual de Walter Benjamin e Theodor Adorno, tendo a revisão bibliográfica como método, buscamos verificar o legado da Escola de Frankfurt à luz do século XXI e compreender como os conceitos de indústria cultural e teoria crítica podem ser lidos a partir do confronto de ideias com alguns de seus críticos. Palavras-chave: Escola de Frankfurt, indústria cultural, teoria crítica, sociedade de consumo
