This language was used to write Psychopolitics and The Burnout Society (-5[1])by Korean theorist Byung-Chul Han. A book in this language describes Reason as a “chemical agent” that seeks to control nature and reads Marquis de Sade’s Juliette. A book in this language argues that art’s radical character has undergone (*) “repressive (-5[1])desublimation,” flattening a previously “two-dimensional” existence. The “culture industry” is theorized as a means of social control in a book written in this language, The Dialectic of Enlightenment by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer.
