El trabajo intenta explicitar el concepto de crítica en la obra de Siegfried Kracauer durante el período de entreguerras. Pone para ello en entredicho una clave interpretativa generalizada que quiere todavía hoy encontrar en este filósofo a un teórico posmodernista avant la lettre. El artículo rastrea el desarrollo de la relación sujeto-objeto en la obra de Kracauer como malla configuradora de los respectivos conceptos de crítica de este. En primer lugar, se analiza la crítica anticapitalista de los primeros años de la década de 1920 como forma peculiar de la 'Kulturkritik'. En segundo lugar, se caracteriza la crítica ideológica a la que el propio Kracauer somete la 'Kulturkritik' a partir de aproximadamente 1925. Finalmente, se analiza la forma de la crítica a partir de 1925 como activación consciente de categorías que constituyen la estructura objetiva del mundo histórico. Se concluye así que en Kracauer, y de una manera irreconciliable con las lecturas posmodernistas, el criterio de verdad se halla condicionado por el polo objetivo.
The resistance of aesthetics consists in the mode of experience that art affords, which promotes individual consciousness and political awareness by exploding the dualisms with which we tend to simplify things: centralization and decentralization, totality and fragmentation, communism and neoliberal capitalism, dictatorship and democracy. Although the formal complexity and ambiguous compositions met in works by the likes of Picasso, Woolf, and Schönberg most obviously support this sort of experience, it can be drawn out of all art to various degrees. Indeed, what distinguishes these modernists from the artists who came before and after them is how they set aesthetic experience as the aim of artistic production. But no work of art can be reduced either to the whole or to the sum of its parts; either to systematicity or to formlessness. Strictly speaking, the opposing ideals of classical and critical aesthetics are not two distinct aesthetic positions, but the theoretical limits between which art unfolds. By analogy, totalitarian governance and social atomism are not oppositional political materializations, but the two extremes at which politics ends.
