Abstract
This essay aims to reflect, based on the foundations of the Critical Theory of Society, about cultural industry and semi-formation (Halbbildung) in the context of Ibero-American countries. The concept of cultural industry not only remains relevant, but it is fundamental to understanding semi-formation or damaged formation. The reflection is anchored in M. Horkheimer, T. W. Adorno and H. Marcuse, first generation thinkers of the Frankfurt School. Formation (Bildung), as assumed by these authors, can provide the necessary substrates for the praxis of resistance to the process that prevents the flourishing of autonomous individuality, in which democracy has been attacked.
