Zero Squared #60: Marx/Adorno at the PNCA
Last week Douglas Lain gave presentation at the Pacific Northwest College of Arts (http://pnca.edu/graduate/c/ctcr).(http://zero-books.net/blogs/zero/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/zerosquared60-1-300x270.jpg) After a discussion of Zero Books, Doug gave a presentation on the Critique of the Gotha Program and Theodor Adorno. Also included in this presentation was Brendan Cooney's video on Abstract Labor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-YVJ-gPDUs) and a 70s advertisement for the Polaroid SX-70.
Special thanks for this episode goes to Sarah O'Hare and the PNCA Critical Theory graduate students and professors.
From Adorno:
THE sociological theory that the loss of the support of objectively established religion, the dissolution of the last remnants of pre-capitalism, together with technological and social differentiation or specialisation, have led to cultural chaos is disproved every day; for culture now impresses the same stamp on everything.
From Marx:
But the whole program, for all its democratic clang, is tainted through and through by the Lassallean sect's servile belief in the state, or, what is no better, by a democratic belief in miracles; or rather it is a compromise between these two kinds of belief in miracles, both equally remote from socialism.
