The Natural History of Disidentification
The relationship between Critical Theory, in particular Adorno's, and queer theory is marked by a peculiar paradox: Adorno's work is permeated with reflections on sexual identity and same-sex desire to the extent that they seem, in an inconspicuous way, foundational to his social critique, yet most of his discussions on the topic may be viewed as stereotypical, uninformed, even homophobic. At the same time, Adorno has written on and was publicly …
Du Bois, Marx, and the Jewish Question Reconsidered
W. E. B. Du Bois's groundbreaking scholarship on race and racial prejudice was inseparable from his lifelong struggle for racial justice, Black liberation, and against social and political oppression. Both in his theoretical and in his historical-political work, Du Bois substantially and critically engaged with the "Jewish question": with Jewish life, history, and politics, with the experiential perspective of an oppressed minority, and with the …
German, Jew, Muslim, Gay
When Hugo Marcus (1880–1966), a German Jewish gay author, philosopher, and activist, converted to Islam in 1925, he “did not know yet what significance the word ‘jihad’ would one day mean to [him]. For it also signifies the duty to leave the country that is under godless rule, even if in so doing one has to give up one’s homeland. In this sense,” he wrote retrospectively in 1951, “I have been on a pilgrimage for the last twelve years” (135). In a…
The Diremption of Love
Gillian Rose (1947–1995) was an influential though idiosyncratic British philosopher whose work helped introduce the Frankfurt School's critical theory and renew interest in Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Jewish thought in Anglo‐American philosophy. After years of relative oblivion, her life and thought have recently received new attention in philosophy, sociology, and theology. However, her work's critical Hegelian contribution to feminist philosophy s…

The Ghosts of Normativity
What are the “normative foundations” of Critical Theory? Can Critical Theory be understood in the context of normative ethics? In particular, what is at stake in a normative reformulation of Adorno and Horkheimer's arguments, given that they insistently refused to provide any such “normative foundations”? This article addresses these questions of Critical Theory's alleged “normative turn” by offering a closer look at, on the one hand, Adorno's vi…
