Abstract

This project intends to understand and investigate, through the theoretical reference bibliography, the concept of Culture Industry. It is intended to analyze the essays getting away from already pretty much being away from It all and a supposedly fun thing I'll never do again, by the American writer David Foster Wallace (2012), through the critical theory exposed by Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer in the book Dialectic of Enlightenment (2006).(AU)
