Description
Summary:This text focus on individual`s emancipatory formation in the educational process through Theodor Adorno`s Aesthetic Theory. Through the analysis of the liberating potential from this theory, there are a critical commitment to report the alienation of art in the area of domination in the actual society. The art that diverts the way of self – reflection as defended by Adorno, covering the logic of merchandise and consumption submitting to instrumental rationality and the semi – formation process. For that matter, its adaptation to “patterns” that the cultural industry conditions and determines while series production of cultural goods which means to satisfy, in an illusory and seductive way, the needs created by consumption and merchandise. The methodology involves a theoretical study from the critical theory fundamentals, being the main reading the work of Theodor Adorno that gives the possibility to get into conclusion that it is possible to emancipate through Aesthetic Theory and education, returning to humanity its formative and critical capacity without creating a barrier between man and nature, or even, between politics and diverse ideologies. As a result, we point out the need to reflect about new formative horizons in favor to debarbarization and self – reflection about a conscious focus on things as an educative ideal that hides under success and adaptation demands in the contemporary education.
