English Summary/英文概要： Dismissed as a miserable elitist who condemned popular culture in the name of high art, Theodor W. Adorno (1903 1969) is one of the most provocative and important yet least understood of contemporary thinkers. This book challenges this popular image and re-examines Adorno as a utopian philosopher who believed authentic art could save the world.
Adorno Reframed is not only a comprehensive introduction to the reader coming to Adorno for the first time, but also an important re-evaluation of this founder of the Frankfurt School. Using a wealth of concrete illustrations from popular culture, Geoffrey Boucher recasts Adorno as a revolutionary whose subversive irony and profoundly historical aesthetics defended the integrity of the individual against social totality.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 狄奥多•W•阿多诺 (1903 -1969)曾被误解为是一名不甚幸运的精英，他用“纯艺术”的名义谴责流行文化，他是最具启迪性、最重要，却也同时最不被理解的以为当代思想家。本书将尝试解读这一为文化大师，重新审视阿多诺：作为一名乌托邦式哲学家，他深信纯真的艺术可以拯救世界。
《重构阿多诺》不仅将向初次接触阿多诺的读者们进行一次深刻而广泛的介绍，同时还将对这位法兰克福学派的奠基人再次进行一次重新评价。杰弗里•布彻将使用大量流行文化中的实例，来再现阿多诺革命家的形象，以及其如何用颠覆性的讽刺与深刻的历史美学捍卫了个人在社会群体面前的完整性。(DC)
