Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials

Almost twenty years after the Nazis defeat, the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials began. This was the second trial for Nazi soldiers stationed in Auschwitz. Over the course of two years, twenty-two defendants were tried for their actions during the Holocaust. These trials took place in Germany and were open to the public. This was somewhat of a way to bring the details of the Holocaust to the public. In fact, there were three hundred and sixty witnesses called to the stand over the course of the trial. There has been little portrayal of these court hearings in literature, movies, or other forms of entertainment. Peter Weiss wrote a small play titled The Investigation. This play condenses two years of trial in two hundred and seventy short pages.…

In order to understand Law, one has to know where it came and the elements that is comprised of. Jurisprudence was first “introduced” by the ancient Greeks in order to make themselves standout as a more civilized society.

In 2001, Michael Haneke directed a film called, The Piano Teacher. Haneke’s view, as conveyed to the viewer, is not to rail against pornography, per se, but to rail against its impact as generated by a capitalist-patriarchal society. This stems from a similar modality of thinking introduced by Linda Williams in 1989, in which she “...moves beyond the impasse of the anti-porn/anti-censorship debate to analyze what hard-core film pornography is and does…” (Slade 656). Haneke’s method is…

The culture industry argument, established by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer, is a critique of mass media, which refers to the industrialization of culture, where the masses are not the only source of mass culture; capitalism serves the masses, and treats them like commodities for their own benefit (McAnany & Wilkinson, 1996). Adorno and Horkheimer chose to call it culture industry, rather than mass media, because they believed that in mass media, masses had some influence upon the creation…

electronic dance music song has affectively been advertised to the masses as a clear embodiment of “popular music” through its peak in summer popularity that occurred in July for a solid three weeks. However, when examining beyond the cultural popularity of song, the repetitive lyrics in which the singer Daya repeat’s “don’t let me…” thirty eight times with the supporting sound an the vague relation to any particular meaning in the songs melody, creates a hollowed form of what exemplifies the…

Highmore, Ben. “Familiar things.” Ordinary Lives. London and New York: Routledge, 2010: 58-85. In Ben Highmore’s Ordinary Lives, his chapter “Familiar things” is an insight into the argument of the meaningfulness of objects in our everyday lives. Highmore’s claim begins by creating a relatable situation in saying that there are tons of things in our homes or daily lives that we interact with but pay no attention to. Highmore goes on to say “Things act on us and we act on things. There seems to…

The historical and cultural references in Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno's "The Culture Industry" and Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility" are subtle but nonetheless fundamental. I began the research process by perusing through both writings to find references applicable to my papers. That is, I tried to find references that substantiated and bolstered the points I made in Midterm Paper 1. I found eight references that were suitable for further…
