I'd heard yo...Happy (belated) birthday, youngster! I'd heard you were a Zook scholar, but thought that applied to your Celtic musicality, not a penchant for centos. (Centi?) I hope you bought yourself something frivolous and highly overamplified to celebrate.<BR/><BR/>Out of the passages you cite (to be serious for a moment), this jumped out at me: "The unsolved antagonisms of reality return in artworks as immanent problems of form." I like it not only because it reminds me of "Lipstick Traces," but because it makes me wonder whether this doesn't assume some need to justify those "problems of form" in social terms, as diagnostic, even. That is, does Adorno think that the reader or listener goes to the work of art to witness or experience those "unsolved antagonisms" in another medium? To glimpse some utopian realm in which they would be resolved? I guess I'm thinking pedagogically here: would I want to tell my students that their struggles through "Ulysses" or some other Early High Modernist classic are justified by the way this work enacts "unsolved antagonisms" from 80 years ago? <BR/><BR/>(Hmmm... Sounds like a social, Marxist version of a bad Freudian reading, no? "The unsolved antagonisms within the author's psyche return in artworks as immanent problems of form." Put it that way and we grimace, no? So why does this appeal?<BR/><BR/>Hats off to the power trio taking on this project! Keep it coming, guys; I'm all ears.E. M.
