In this new Critical Cuts video Douglas Lain explains the difference between melancholy and mourning, considers the 9/11 memorial “Reflecting Absence,” and turns to Adorno for an explanation for why we’ve become unable to process and accept our losses.
A short discussion of this video and of Adorno’s “On The Fetish Character in Music and the Regression of Listening” will begin at 3pm Pacific. I’ll place a link in another post for members.
