When did you first think about the possibility of writing about memes and Fisher? And more precisely, why associating this topic with Adorno and the Frankfurt School? Could you explain where such a confrontation comes from? In so doing, it recalls the work of Adorno, Benjamin and Marcuse, who identified similar processes in the post war period.
