This article focuses specifically on Adorno and his relationship to Los Angeles. In exploring the entries that appear in Minima Moralia, Israel explains the personal nature of Adorno’s theory, especially those thoughts that appear in “The Culture Industry.” Notes from this article will, like the thoughts expressed in Minima Moralia, probably appear in the concluding statements of my essay as they examine the more personal relationship Adorno has with Los Angeles. I do not want to over-emphasize the subjectivity of Adorno’s theories throughout my work—although they may be helpful in introducing the intimacy of Adorno’s response to Los Angeles and the Culture Industry it presents. This is an important essay as it reminds us that Adorno’s experience cannot be separated from his theories.
