Freuds »Massenpsychologie«
Helmut Dahmer rekapituliert und aktualisiert in seinem Beitrag die Bedeutung von Freuds Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse für eine kritische Gesellschaftstheorie und zeigt, wie sich historisch-materialistische und psychoanalytische Aufklärung der patriarchalen Herrschaftsgeschichte notwendig ergänzen. Dabei ordnet Dahmer der Unterscheidung von Gemeinschaft und moderner Vergesellschaftung eine Schlüsselstellung zu
Adorno's view of psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis sets out to solve the riddles and enigmas of the psyche. For Adorno, however, psychoanalysis itself is an enigma. Why, he asks, have both the theory and its therapeutic applications become entangled in insoluble contradictions?

In the following I will argue that, first, Freud's psychology, the core of whic…
Bertolt Brecht and Stalinism
The publication of Brecht's Arbeitsjournal (1938-1955) makes it possible for us to ascertain Brecht's position regarding the domestic and foreign policies of the USSR under Stalin. The Arbeitsjournal contain mainly political notes which also discuss “literary themes.” Brecht visited the Soviet Union three times. His first visit was in the spring of 1935, a period between the assassination of Kirov and the Seventh Congress of Komintern. Six years …
