Este artigo apresenta a contribuição de Theodor W. Adorno para a configuração de uma educação capaz de enfrentar os irracionalismos contemporâneos, por meio de uma retomada da definição da dialética como crítica do pensamento filosófico. Este tem, modernamente, se limitado a enlevar a racionalidade à máxima potência, sem se debruçar sobre os efeitos de suas promessas não cumpridas. A obra de Adorno é reconhecida por uma propugnação segundo a qual cabe à filosofia a tarefa da reflexão crítica e do esclarecimento da forma como a cultura se organiza. Tal proposição leva a um projeto teórico que pressupõe a tomada de consciência sobre os descaminhos da razão, numa tentativa de que, por intermédio do esclarecimento, o homem possa construir possibilidades de autonomia e emancipação. O artigo se organiza em duas partes, assim apresentados: 1. Ambições tórico-práticas da teoria crítica da sociedade e 2) Fios que tecem a teoria crítica de T. W. Adorno, este dividido em três tópicos: a) O clima cultural geral do capitalismo tardio - a propensão à barbárie; b) Falência da cultura - razão objetiva da barbárie; c) Reflexos da vida danificada: o adoecimento do contato.
O tema geral do presente artigo trata da antropologia histórica encontrada em “The Authoritarian Personality” e fundamentada em “Dialética do Esclarecimento”. Especificamente, abordaremos a conceituação que compreende as movimentações pulsionais (segundo leitura da teoria freudiana) enquanto natureza interna, fundamento da concepção da antropologia aqui debatida. Com isso, ao falarmos de antropologia e de natureza, não estamos nos referindo a concepções imutáveis e “biologizantes”, mas a noções históricas e contextuais. Para tanto, iremos nos voltar à “Ideia de história natural” adorniana, precisamente à dialética entre história e natureza. No texto, Adorno trata de dois movimentos de tal dialética: uma concepção de Lukács, para quem elementos da história se tornam naturalizados enquanto segundo natureza, o que pode ser exemplificado com o esquematismo hollywoodiano promovido pela indústria cultural; o segundo movimento, sob influência de Walter Benjamin, trata da transitoriedade histórica da natureza, quando resquícios arcaicos reprimidos pelo sentido histórico dominante ressurgem, tornando-se possibilidade de outra orientação histórica. Este debate se mostra importante justamente porque se encontra no cerne da relação entre economia-política/sociologia e psicanálise, os domínios teóricos mais relevantes para a primeira geração da Teoria Crítica. Por mais que pensemos que há uma antropologia implícita para Horkheimer e Adorno – que enxergariam o ser humano enquanto naturalmente agressivo e destruidor –, o nosso intuito é mostrar que, se a antropologia e a natureza são históricas, o ser humano age a partir da pulsão de morte justamente porque o meio social que o forma é ele mesmo dominador, violento, reificado e alienante.
Hamlet or Europe and the end of modern Trauerspiel. On some shakespearians motifs in Walter Benjamin
(2019)
Hamlet’s character sets, under different shapes and extents, the benchmark against which a large part of the European philosophy of the very long «short twentieth-century» behind us has had to measure. In the name of Hamlet as the most enigmatic among Shakespeare’s creatures, even Europe, its spirit and destiny, is identified, according to the well-known claim by Paul Valery.
Common trait to a big part of these interpretations – from the juvenile works of Pavel Florenskij and Lev S. Vygotskij (respectively written in 1905 and 1915) to Carl Schmitt’s Hamlet oder Ekuba. Der Einbruch der Zeit in das Spiel (1956) – is offered by the detection, in Hamlet’s figure, of the contradiction inherent to an epochal transition: the time of an unresolved passage between two ages that only knows the endless pain of an “interim”. My paper concerns the possibility to interpret Hamlet’s time as the time of an “interim” in light of Benjamin’s claims about Shakespeare’s drama contained in his book on the German Trauerspiel.
While Florenskij interprets Hamlet’s time as tragic and the figure of Hamlet as a tragic one, in my essay - moving from some observations on the " Hamlet Problem " by the young Franz Rosenzweig - I consider the original Benjaminian thesis about the character and the drama of Hamlet as the end of the modern Trauerspiel. Starting from a statement by Theodor Adorno in the famed Hornberger Brief to Benjamin of August 2, 1935, I outline, therefore, how Benjamin characterizes the figure of Hamlet. This, from his early writings on the relationship between tragedy and Trauerspiel up to the great book on the Origin of the German Trauerspiel.
In the frame of Benjamin’s interpretation, exactly by virtue of its distance from the thesis on the duality of tragedy (evoked by Florenskij’s interpretation as well as other ones), the Shakespearian theatrum of consciousness, paradigmatically represented in the figure of Hamlet and in the intimately dialectic character of his drama, is accounted for as necessary correlate of the Cartesian’s theatrum of consciousness. From a theoretical point of view, the Benjaminian characterization of Hamlet's figure reveals, therefore, something of the nature of modern consciousness and of consciousness in general in relation to the problem of truth and its representation. Hence the end of modern Trauerspiel coincides with the original incompleteness of its time. Consequently, I also claim Hamlet's dramatic figure to represent the aporetic characters of modern politics. This contrasts the thesis of Carl Schmitt who (in direct controversy with Benjamin) speaks, instead, of the Shakespearean drama as an expression of a pre-modern barbaric time.
This article claims that the institution of the market is structurally exploitative. It allows for exploitation, it encouragesactors to engage in it and it even pressurizes them to do so. Within Marxism, this claim is well known, but can it bedefended without strongly relying on Marxist concepts and arguments? I will answer in the affirmative and identify theforces of market competition to be a fundamental source of exploitative pressures...
Das Phänomen Straßenmusik: Teil einer städtischen Identität? : eine Analyse am Fallbeispiel Dublin
(2019)
The objective of this work is to understand the significance of street music for the city of Dublin and to what extent street music is part of the collective identity of its inhabitants. The idea behind this topic is this: A modern city stands for concentrated diversity. Despite this enormous diversity of people, ideas and beliefs, there are certain factors that every identity in a city shares: in this case, it is the street music. The work first introduces the research „Das Dublin Projekt. Die Rolle der Straßenmusik in der Hauptstadtkultur" (The Dublin Project. The role of street music in the capital city culture) of 2018 and uses selected points of analysis to illustrate the observed high value of street music as well as the process of the research and an overview of the applied scientific methods. In the second part of this work, the actual research-thesis will be explained and various theories on „identity" will be illustrated. For this purpose, selected theories are used to interpret the own findings with regard to the research-thesis. The focus here is on urban and collective identity theories. Finally, the answers to the questions posed will be given as well as an outlook on possible, supplementary and further research. Medial support of this work comes from attached photos of the described scenes as well as from map sections showing the distances covered and the hotspots of the research.
Gleich zwei Anlässe bestehen für unser Gespräch mit dem Politikwissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Lothar Brock (Jg. 1939) über die „Kunst, Kriege zu beenden“: ein weltordnungspolitischer Anlass mit dem 100-jährigen Jahrestag des Beginns der Pariser Friedenskonferenz – und ein biografischer Anlass unseres Gesprächspartners. Am 30. Januar 2019 feierte Lothar Brock, der an der Goethe-Universität zunächst seit 1992 als Professor und seit 2004 als Senior-Professor lehrt, seinen 80. Geburtstag. Überlegungen zu Krieg und Frieden in Geschichte und Gegenwart.
Attachment theory is commonly used to investigate children’s psychosocial development. To demonstrate cultural variability and to advance the idea of attachment as a collective resource, we assessed children’s attachment networks during middle childhood among the Nseh, a Cameroonian clan with distinct concepts of family and childhood. Using photo elicitation interviews, we used an exploratory approach to investigate the structural and functional composition of these networks and to generate a comprehensive overview. Participants were 11 children (six girls and five boys), aged 6 to 10 years. Children took photos of individuals who were important to them and with whom they felt safe, comfortable, and at ease. Then, in follow-up interviews they were asked to characterize their attachment figures on sociostructural dimensions and to elaborate how those individuals made them feel comfortable and safe. Transcripts of the interviews were coded using ethnographic strategies. Initial descriptive codes were analyzed concerning key terms, semantic relationships, and their context of meaning, before assigning higher level codes to generate distinct main categories of functionality. Children described attachment networks that were structurally adapted to concepts of social ties and interactional norms of the clan. Concerning their functionality, children differentiated between peers, responsible for overt emotional needs, and adults, providing nutritional care. We conclude that this pattern reflects sources of security and concepts of care of the distinct developmental environment. We discuss the importance of context-specific and comprehensive approaches to attachment, moving beyond Eurocentric monotropic concepts, with the goal of developing a complex understanding of childhood across ecocultural settings.
