For Wednesday

For this Wed. post a blog response that discusses one or two points from Ohman (Selling Culture) and Adorno/Horkeimer (Culture Industry). You may take a point or two from Ohman for example and talk about this in relation to A/H in general or in relation to particular points from A/H. Please use quotes/info from the readings and specifically explain your points (don't generalize w/o explanation/support/discussion.

Also, keep thinking about other "transgressive" examples that work to counter/critique the totalizing Culture Industry and either write about these on the blog or bring them to class to discuss.
