Özet:

This study aims to understand what the intellectual foundation the Frankfurt School operates, its formation as an intellectual movement and the theoretical approach of its thinkers, while it aims to provide a general reading of the cultural industry and to study the connection of the culture to the mass culture. First of all, we will try to understand how the European-centric cultural understanding develops. From the concepts developed by Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno of the Frankfurt School, it is necessary to explain the concepts of "subject mind" and "negative dialectic" and to understand the conceptualizations of the cultural industry, which is seen as a brilliant development in social sciences, to discuss the criticisms and proposals of the Book of the Dialectic of Enlightenment. While the theoretical framework of the article is referring to the Dialectic of Enlightenment, the historical and mental origins of the music and cinema concepts of the critical theory that will be applied to secondary sources will be questioned at this stage.
