Adorno The Mandarin
Jens Hagestedt writes: “In 1933 Theodor Adorno wrote a highly compromising text (that fortunately was never published) to encourage those in charge of the then ’streamlined’ radio of the German dictatorship to use their powers to put an end ‘once and for all’ to what was rather indelicately referred to as ‘Schlager’ (German pop music ‘hits’) and to ’sweep such spookily alienated musical products from their programmes.”
