This is incorrect. In "Dialectic of Enlightment" Adorno and Horkheimer are  
mainly presenting Hegel's position that by completely distinguing between  
working and enjoying both are alienated.
See Hegel's "Phenomenology", Chapter about the unhappy, divorced  
conciousness. There Hegel derives the division between labor and pleasure  
from the division of "An-sich-Sein" and "Fuer-sich-Sein", meaning subject  
and object, which means that this division is a wrong one.
