Selected Writings on Media, Propaganda, and Political Communication
This book brings together a broad selection of Siegfried Kracauer’s work on media and political communication, much of it previously unavailable in English. It features writings spanning more than two decades, from the 1930s to the early Cold War period.
The Concept of Pseudo-Conservatism as a Link Between The Authoritarian Personality and Early Critical Theory
This article has two main aims. First, it seeks to demonstrate the continuity of The Authoritarian Personality with the model of "early Critical Theory" that was developed at the Institute for Social Research in the 1930s. Second, it attempts to show why The Authoritarian Personality—and early Critical Theory more generally—are still essential to understanding the frightening resurgence of authoritarianism in the United States in recent times. Th…
Théorie critique de la propagande
La publication en 2013 d'une version reconstruite du texte de Kracauer Die totalitäre Propaganda (1937-1938) a renouvelé la perception que l’on pouvait avoir de cette dimension de son œuvre et de son apport à une « théorie critique de la propagande ». La réflexion sur la propagande s’inscrit dans le contexte plus vaste de l’élaboration par les exilés allemands, au tournant des années 1930-1940, d’une grille de lecture du national-socialisme, vu c…
La dialectique de la raison. Sous bénéfice d’inventaire
Œuvre phare de la littérature philosophique du XXe siècle, la Dialectique de la raison a tenté d'éclairer les formes de domination et les catastrophes politiques dont ses auteurs Max Horkheimer et Theodor W. Adorno ont été les témoins par une réflexion radicale sur le fonctionnement de la rationalité. Adorno et Horkheimer s’interrogent sur la maladie de la raison qu’ils voient à l’œuvre dans la civilisation elle-même. La question qu’ils posent – …
A Critical Review of Recent Literature on Populism
This is a review article of the following five recent studies on populism: 1) Ruth Wodak’s The Politics of Fear: What Right-Wing Populist Discourses Mean (Sage, 2015); 2) Benjamin Moffitt’s The Global Rise of Populism: Performance, Political Style and Representation (Stanford University Press, 2016); 3) Cas Mudde and Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser’s Populism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2017); 4) Jan-Werner Müller’s What is P…
A Teoria Crítica da Escola de Frankfurt e a persistência do populismo autoritário nos Estados Unidos
A primeira parte deste artigo fornece um breve resumo dos estudos sobre o autoritarismo e o populismo de direita dos Teóricos Críticos. A segunda parte analisa a emergência do Tea Party e o sucesso de Donald Trump em expandir e intensificar este movimento populista de direita ao atrelá-lo à sua liderança autoritária. Com base nos recursos conceituais expostos na primeira seção, pretendo demonstrar na segunda seção como as análises do populismo de…
Genealogia e historicismo crítico: Dois modelos de Esclarecimento nos escritos de Horkheimer e Adorno
Este artigo sustenta que dois conceitos distintos de Esclarecimento coexistem em tensão na Dialética do esclarecimento de Horkheimer e Adorno. De acordo com o primeiro conceito, genealógico, o Esclarecimento é uma forma confusa de autopreservação que existiu desde a aurora da civilização ocidental. O segundo conceito, historicista crítico, concebe como Esclarecimento os ideais críticos e antiautoritários articulados - mais radicalmente na França …
Genealogy and Critical Historicism: Two Models of Enlightenment in Horkheimer and Adorno's Writings
This article argues that two distinct concepts of Enlightenment coexist uneasily in Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment. According to the first, genealogical concept, Enlightenment is a bewildered form of self-preservation that has existed since the dawn of Western civilization. The second, critical historicist concept views Enlightenment as the critical and anti-authoritarian ideals articulated-most radically in eighteenth-century…
Herbert Marcuse: A critical reader
Angela Davis, Detlev Claussen, Andrew Feenberg, Douglas Kellner, John O'Neill, Gerard Rautlet, Richard Wolin, Andrew Light, Tim Luke, Steven Vogel, John Abromeit, Stephan Bundschuh, Mark Cobb, Samir Gandesha, Michal Werz, Peter Marcuse, Carl Shorske
Lawrence J. Friedman. The Lives of Erich Fromm: Love's Prophet
In this long-awaited and eagerly anticipated work, Lawrence J. Friedman has provided us with the most thorough, well-researched, and balanced biography so far of Erich Fromm. Friedman has written for a general audience, while at the same time maintaining high scholarly standards. He positions his work in relation to the existing literature primarily as an attempt to move beyond a one-sided focus on Fromm's published writings, which he argues can …
Whiteness as a Form of Bourgeois Anthropology: Historical Materialism and Psychoanalysis in the Work of David Roediger, Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse
In his pathbreaking analysis of the formation of an ideological “white” self-consciousness among American workers in the nineteenth century, David Roediger relies on a theoretical synthesis of historical materialism and psychoanalysis. This paper explores the parallels in methodology and content between Roediger’s work and the critical theory of Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse, which was also based on a synthesis of Marx and Freu…
Anti-Semitism and Critical Social Theory: The Frankfurt School in American Exile
Ziege's book focuses primarily on the two main empirical studies carried out by Max Horkheimer's Institute of Social Research during its exile in the United States in the 1940s: a relatively unknown and never-published study of anti-Semitism among American workers and the much better known, five-volume Studies in Prejudice. Ziege poses and successfully answers the question of why the Institute began to focus more on empirical studies and anti-Sem…
Heideggerianismo De Esquerda Ou Marxismo Fenomenológico? Reconsiderando a Teoria Crítica Da Tecnologia De Herbert Marcuse
Diferentemente de interpretações recentes sobre a teoria marcuseana da tecnologia, elogiosas ou críticas, que identificam nela uma forte e contínua influência de Heidegger, pretendo mostrar, no presente artigo, que Marcuse toma de empréstimo elementos importantes da fenomenologia de Heidegger e, mais ainda, de Husserl, mas que essses elementos são apropriados dentro de uma abordagem teórica geral marxista. Dessa maneira, enfatizam-se os fatores s…
Max Horkheimer and the Foundations of the Frankfurt School
This book is the first comprehensive intellectual biography of Max Horkheimer during the early and middle phases of his life (1895–1941). Drawing on unexamined new sources, John Abromeit describes the critical details of Horkheimer's intellectual development. This study recovers and reconstructs the model of early Critical Theory that guided the work of the Institute for Social Research in the 1930s. Horkheimer is remembered primarily as the co-a…
