From: "LaoHu" <laohu-AT-mchsi.com> Subject: Re info on Marcuse and Adorno: The Fully Administered Society Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 14:50:24 -0500 Hi! You might have a look at Lindsay Waters "Enemies of Promise: Publishing, Perishing, and the Eclipse of Scholarship" Prickly Paradigm Press (Chicago 2004). Especially starting on page 13 ("The Growth of an Administrative Class") he talks about these issues and what he sees (rightly, in my view) as their deletrious effects. But he circles back on this matter of the cancerous metastasis of an administrative overclass into every organ of the universities at several other points in his short text, or pamphlet. I got my copy at Amazon. Hope that helps. laohu <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< -----Original Message----- From: owner-postcolonial-AT-lists.village.Virginia.EDU [ <mailto:owner-postcolonial-AT-lists.village.Virginia.EDU> mailto:owner-postcolonial-AT-lists.village.Virginia.EDU] On Behalf Of Lou F.

Caton Subject: info on Marcuse and Adorno: The Fully Administered Society Dear list-serv, I'm working on an article about the phrase "the fully administered society" in advanced industrial states intersects with corporate theme parks in Disney World and Las Vegas. I'm guessing that the phrase originally came from both Marcuse and Adorno; however, I'm having difficulty finding exact locations in their works. Is it too broad a term for specific scrutiny? In other words, does it show up so often and in so many different guises that it can't be usefully isolated in particular works or sections of works? If that's the case, then would I be better off just reading, say, _One Dimensional Man_ and pulling the concept together piecemeal? In terms of Adorno, what's the single best text for him regarding the phrase? Also, if anyone knows of edited collections or any secondary pubs on this notion, I'd appreciate hearing about them, as well. As always, many thanks for some great list-serv members and apologies for any cross-postings.
