Description

Book Synopsis
This book argues that the work of Theodor W. Adorno is best understood through the lens of his highly suggestive—yet often overlooked—concept of the “uncoercive gaze,” an innovative way of relating to the object of one’s analysis that interweaves critical intimacy and analytic vigilance.
