From the rear cover

Arguing that postmodernism has so shifted current critical paradigms that Adorno's work can best be assessed in terms of its relevance in specific localized contexts, this book pursues a course that preserves Adorn's opposition to hegemonic programs but that is also wary of Adorn's own (negative) penchant for totalizing concepts. Unlike recent works which attempt to synthesize Adorn's writing into a comprehensive system that then becomes either the focus of an overriding critique or an object of appropriation, Harding orders his book as a collection of essays whose loose association questions the structural totality of Adorn's thought.
