“What parades as progress in culture industry, as the incessantly new which it offers up, remains the disguise for an eternal sameness…” writes Theodor Adorno about “Culture Industry” It is a concept that Adorno developed together with Max Horkheimer in 1944, and was introduced in their book, ‘Dialectic of Enlightenment’.
