Title

A Critique of ‘ Negative Aesthetics’ in Azar, Shahdokht, Parviz and the Others

Pages

  99-118

Abstract

 As an important and comprehensive critical method, “ critical aesthetics” of the Frankfurt School, deals with art and literature to show that the emergence of liberty in a capitalist society confronts certain obstacles that are manifested, in different ways, in economy, politics, ideology, art, culture and the media, and through an organized process, ultimately lead to the appearance of a consumerist society. According to Adorno’ s and Marcuse’ s sociological views, “ negative aesthetics” analyzes consumerism in the West so as to challenge the anti-rationalistic aspects of a “ unidimensional society. ” These ideas finally lead to the emergence of a phenomenon known as “ culture industry” which uses devices like the media and propaganda to deceive individuals. Therefore, the consumers are dominated by these devices and are deprived of their will and awareness. Marjan Shirmohammadi’ s novel, Azar, Shahdokht, Parviz and the Others, presents an image of such a consumerist world which turns individuals into rivals over consumption. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present study demonstrates that consumerism and commodification turn the characters into subjects in a world replete with consumerist objects and the prevalence of the cultural industry creates a deep rift between native and foreign cultures. As a result, concepts such as consumerism, accumulation and abundance, can be used to criticize the different dimensions of “ negative aesthetics” in the false identities of the characters.
