Adorno is highly controversial in the field of foreign Marxist thinkers, but also critiqueof modernity has its own unique view of the scholar. Because of this modern theoreticalresearch on Adorno results flock. At the same time, Adorno never grand narrative is a way toexpress their understanding of the problems of modern society, but always based on aparticular problem domain to carry out targeted research. It stems from this, you want toisolate Adorno modern critical thought must be placed in a field which critically examine, and"aesthetic theory" in which the field of aesthetic critique of modernity is precisely one of themore clear field. Therefore, this paper Adorno,"Dialectic of Enlightenment","negativedialectics" and "aesthetic theory" the launching of modern critical theory for the study ofvisual threshold to Adorno’s thinking as methodological principle of "aesthetic theory"aesthetic critique of modernity as the ideological resources to Adorno’s critique of traditionalaesthetics with modern aesthetics constructed as logical thinking to Adorno "aesthetic theory"critique of modernity is characterized by the idea presented important in order to Adorno asthe representative of Western Marxism and Marxist aesthetic sense of modernity compareAdorno’s thinking and examine the links and differences of Marx, in contrast to deepen theunderstanding of Marxist ideology and grasp.Of the " aesthetic theory " Institute for text to complete the first task is to establish themethodological principle, this methodological principle not come out of thin air, but Adornothought itself established, according to its text to this theory can be purport to make betterreveal. We refer to this methodological principle summarized as the following aspects: firstlyreflected cultural criticism the presentation of the critical spirit. Second reflected a degree ofpost-modern color layer without rules and non-delivery of narrative style. The third isabandoned, portable and flexible. This triple dimension to clear Adorno " aesthetic theory "methodological principles of interpretation.In the methodological principles established on the basis of our field Adorno aestheticmodernity from "broken " and " up" dual dimension interpretation of it. The process is brokenAdorno concentrated expression of art and beauty-revealing abuses of modern cultureindustry. Cultural industry is the most fundamental flaws in popular culture, the culture ofpopular culture on the basis of the loss of their own should have a right of all human life valueand meaning, culture loses its connotation of cultural origin caused by industrialization. Inpursuit of sensory stimulation, the endless stream of technical means and the combination ofsimple form, making the individual’s taste and value needs become more unified in their dailyway of life saved as the growing tendency " to obey." So originally belonged to the individual’s art appreciation and enjoyment of art consumption became standardized. And theart of consumption such standardization is an absolute principle, no vitality and aestheticactivity becomes vulgar, body consciousness becomes the lack of self-reflection. In such alack of self-reflection and critical awareness of the " pop culture" under the guidance ofhuman emotion loses ownership, has received multiple repressed personality, spirit and soullost sublimation possible.This culture is an expression of fantasy aesthetic without contradictions and Qi atendency. Adorno that this cultural industry caused harm to the following three aspects: oneis the general tendency of cultural industries to effectively contribute to a skilled packagingideology, make people more adapted to the customary rule, the final the personalityunconditionally among settle in common, resulting in lifestyle flat, consumer behavior andfashion aesthetic tastes superficiality. The second is cultural identity in a serious way tryingto cover objectification and alienation DU will in the main-the relationship between theobject and the special-the contradiction between the general relationship between the natureof the conflict between the main object and alienation be obscured, and can not be moresober people foresee. Its three cultural industries of the results led to the degradation ofpublic taste, aesthetic activities vulgarization, reflection and critical awareness of the bodylack of plaque, as well as the prevalence of hedonism so negative effects. Accordingly, notonly did not get emotional catharsis, not only did not get the spirit of sublimation, but aredoubly repressed. Cultural crisis is a crisis of its own people, who want to get out of thispredicament and the road towards self-redemption, we need to start from a cultural illusionimplement a demasking and subversion. Only in the true sense of the culture, from thesublime to the hypocrisy of social ideology manifested, in order to achieve the expectedhuman self-emancipation and development of human talent in the world belong to nurtureand develop the human will factor.In Adorno’s deep concern for the cultural industries and hostility at the same time, alsoadmitted that the mainstream of cultural industries in the critical potential inherent. Forexample, he noted that the ideology of cultural industry itself in the manipulation of publicattempts, has become with it as you want to control society inherently contain aconfrontational. The ideology of cultural industries contain their own lies antidote." It seemsthat Adorno either from a negative or a positive reveal the substance of the cultural industry inthe process, always embrace explore the" culture ransomed " the possibility of the ultimatepurpose of mission, or so that the rescue crisis Adorno approach is to achieve a modernaesthetic shift. Adorno seems to think that in order to redeem mankind save himself, or thathuman beings in order to get rid of the crisis, in addition to other avenues had to start fromthe culture-rebuilt aesthetic sense-ie spirit and self-discipline of art. Adorno sought throughthe " spirit " of the art of external constraints aside, so less affected by the impact of alienation, so try to keep their social critique dimension-that is, through the performance ofthe media and history in a manner determined to attack and expose the drawbacks of today’ssocial conditions.Modernist aesthetics lies in the reconstruction of cultured truth will. The face of modernaesthetics and ideology of cultural industry is facing a dilemma: If Art abandonself-discipline, it will succumb to the established order; But if you want to stick to the arts inthe range of self-discipline among it still will be assimilated in the past, in which it wasspecified location doing nothing, doing nothing. In such situations need to reflect the modernaesthetic reconstruction of a " counter-world " tendencies. It is intentionally not " glamorous"life and society, but directly render people’s living condition and expose the socialdrawbacks. The nature of art, social functions and social importance, and perhaps is in itsconfrontation with the world, but through the real " object oriented ", that is ruthless anddeeply through disclosure and display, re-recognize their own people, understand the world.I hope the art as a modern aesthetic expression, not overlooked, move about independently,resist the overall social movement. Modernist aesthetics possibility of future development isto cultivate aesthetic form no one knows. This indicates that not only aesthetic form ofmodern art fried King. And heralded aesthetic development prospects. Its essence, this "aesthetic form " is an idealized form of art, expect performance through thorough revolutionin the way, with a deep sense of reflection and criticism of the way to make art as much aspossible the true face return to its originalAdorno believes aesthetic significance and necessity exists. But this aesthetic is notbackward disuse traditional aesthetics, but an ability to get rid of the old norms "trigger thatkind of aesthetic reflection," a modern transformation must implement modern aesthetics. Inthis process of constructing modern aesthetics Adorno reflects a distinct position and attitude:unorthodox Marxism, modernist aesthetic theory standpoint, high cultural conservatismpointing and negative dialectics and Skepticism. Adorno’s aesthetics is largely a theoreticalcircle wells non but a thinking process. In this process, often shine out bunches admirablyglow, streams overflow a string of fresh salty words to teach people, many of them reachedthe amazing insight extent, even the logic of their thinking many contradictions and biasesalso gives endless aftertaste and profound inspiration.Adorno’s aesthetic theory and Marxist critique of modernity aesthetic modernity with acertain degree of similarities and differences in comparison with the Marxist sense of theaesthetic theory is that we examine its effective evaluation Adorno important aestheticcritique of modernity dimensions. By understanding both the United States itself, thealienation of the U.S. state of salvation, and the return of the living world of aesthetic revealsother dimensions, we can see that two thinkers in the above ideological and theoreticalaspects consistent with striking sex. At the same time, Marx aesthetics in the process of salvation, emphasizing the aesthetic presented practical, social, and human freedom andcomprehensive development of the meaning and value, much larger than Adorno emphasizesthe beauty of truth, empirical and the characteristics of individualism, which is higher thanthe Marxist critique of aesthetic modernity and profound genius in Adorno aesthetics.
