Ruth,

I wasn't disagreeing with Michael; I was endorsing his disagreement with Adorno.

Being prescriptive about art is always a mug's game, in my view. Even saying that you should never be prescriptive about art is probably too prescriptive - because I do quite like some manifestos, for example the Imagist manifesto.

I didn't take Michael's text as a rule or a command. More as a heartfelt invitation to use all our powers to co-create an expanded and enriched vision of life and communality, in which humans have a central role ...

...which I greatly appreciated.

Michael,

I agree. We have to try to be adequate to our feelings about the time in which we live - but ruling certain things either in or out of art because they don't or do seem 'appropriate to our era' isn't really an adequate response, I don't think.
