We will be discussing the first chapter of Dialectic of Enlightenment by Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno. The chapter is titled The Concept of Enlightenment. There are two links for the chapter as there are two translations (you only need to read one of them).

The 1972 John Cumming translation is a better scan and it is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ooj4p3i7g047uzw

2012 BASTARD Conference – Workshop Callout
2012 BASTARD Conference – Theme: No Future
Time is a beast. It has torn through humans chasing them from the fields and woods into suits and office buildings, suburbs and mortgages. There was a chance we were going to defeat it, on the commons of England, Mesopotamia, or during the revolutions on the old continent. But we didn’t. Instead time sits on our chests and makes us do horrible things.
This years BASTARD conference will examine time in all its perniciousness. What does a critique of time say about our relationship to history. Is history redeemable? Are we living at the end of history with the glorious victory of the neo-liberal revolution of the past 50 years? If there is no time does that argue for eternal recursion? Is there hope if there is no time?
Contribute a workshop to the 2012 BASTARD conference on this theme, a related topic, or something else entirely. Send your proposals to conference@sfbay-anarchists.org
Theme: No Future
