Cultural Critique 70 revisits the theories and influence of Theodor Adorno, whose work was the subject of an earlier special issue (Cultural Critique 60). In addition to the Adorno section, the issue includes articles that uniquely examine time and history. Andreas Langenohl looks at time in narratives about the financial market. Jane Elliot focuses on The Stepford Wives in her analysis of the temporalities of popular feminism of the 1970s. Art historian Natasha Eaton considers the discourse of oriental despotism in eighteenth-century Britain and India, where she shows that the exchange and collection of art played a key role in the political scene. David Kauffman looks at novelist W. G. Sebald and melancholy, especially in relation to Walter Benjamin’s ideas of history.
