INTRODUCTION
Culture has long been said to be a rare and a vulnerable thing, but no one could speak likewise of the discussion it inspires, which, in contrast, has never been more prolific or robust. Familiar modern understandings of the term persist, more or less strongly: culture as a storehouse of essentially human or essentially national values.
1 AGAINST MASS CIVILIZATION
Between the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 and the conclusion of the Second World War in 1945, Europe underwent one of the most convulsive general transformations in its history. The killing factories of the Great War did not run on blood and money alone: they devoured constitutions, social orders, traditions – whole ways of life.

But metaculture as a discursive form is romance, a journey through the waste land in search of lost virtue or into an enchanted forest of commodities, where even the future is in season all year round. It is better, surely, to settle for lucidity – to honour the image of happiness ‘negatively’, as Adorno put it, by retaining the contradictions ‘pure and uncompromised’ (1981:32) – and to enter cultural politics with a greater modesty that in fact subserves a greater ambition, as the art of the possible.
