Abstract
The essay discusses the perspective of Theodor Adorno’s sociology of culture, and the key concepts involved in this lecture, in order to clarify this particular way of considering cultural processes, in which we find a deep philosophical and political weight. Just analyzing the main aspects linked to dialectics, semiculture, individualism and cultural industry, it’s possible to point out the difference among Adorno’s theories and the disciplines of sociology of cultural processes, sociology of knowledge, philosophy of culture. The arguments presented so let to understand the value of this articulated approach, still remarkable in the contemporary age.
Keywords: Cultural processes, Sociology, Critical theory, Consciousness, Contemporary age
