Televisão e indústria cultural : a perspectiva crítica de Theodor Adorno

Abstract

Based on Theodor Adorno's work, this study aims to investigate the distinctive characteristics of television compared to other segments of the cultural industry, highlighting its singularity and, at the same time, how it integrates into the broader spectrum of mass culture. The proposed analysis will focus on understanding how this medium reinforces the status quo by disseminating content that reflects and perpetuates hegemonic ideologies in society. From this perspective, we intend to demonstrate both the necessity and the possibility of a television practice that aspires to emancipation, promoting critical awareness and stimulating reflections that can lead to a fairer and more democratic society.
