The Struggle for Meaning is a landmark publication by one of African philosophy's leading figures, Paulin J. Hountondji, best known for his critique of ethnophilosophy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In this volume, he responds with autobiographical and philosophical reflection to the dialogue and controversy he has provoked. He discusses the ideas, rooted in the work of such thinkers as Husserl and Hountondji's former teachers Derrida, Althusser, and Ricoeur, that helped shape his critique. Applying his philosophical ideas to the critical issues of democracy, culture, and development in Africa today, he addresses three crucial topics: the nexus between scientific extraversion and economic dependence; the nature of endogenous traditions of thought and their relationship with modern science; and the implications - for political pluralism and democracy - of the emergence of 'philosophies of subject' in Africa. While the book's immediate concern is with Africa, the densely theoretical nature of its analyses, and its bearing on current postmodern theories of the 'other', will make this timely and elegant translation of great interest to many disciplines, especially ethnic, gender, and multicultural studies.
Ist die Literatur, als Abweichung oder als Erfüllung der Ausdrucksfunktion der Sprache verstanden, eine Diskursform, die dem Bereich der Wahrheit zugänglich ist, oder aber verhindert sie jeden systematischen Zugang zur Wahrheit? Und was ist überhaupt damit gewonnen, wenn Literatur und Wahrheit in einen Zusammenhang zueinander gesetzt werden? Diese Fragen mit einer neuen Dringlichkeit versehen zu haben, die über den Gegensatz von analytischer Philosophie und Dekonstruktion hinausreicht, ist das Verdienst der Arbeiten von Stanley Cavell. Im Folgenden geht es darum, die Frage nach der Wahrheit in der Literatur noch einmal anhand der Auseinandersetzung mit Cavells Schriften stellen, um die Reichweite wie die Grenzen des philosophischen Diskurses über die Literatur zu bestimmen. [...] Was für Cavell in grundsätzlicher Weise in Frage steht, ist zum einen das Wissen, das die Philosophie von der Welt haben kann und zum anderen das Wissen, was Philosophie und Literatur in ihrer gemeinsamen und doch unterschiedlichen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Skeptizismus voneinander haben können. In dem Maße, in dem er nach den Möglichkeiten einer Überwindung des Skeptizismus sucht, erkennt Cavell zunächst spezifische Formen des Nichtwissens an, die er im Kontext philosophischer wie literarischer Texte gleichermaßen thematisiert. Eine besondere Stellung nimmt in diesem Zusammenhang der wiederholte Rückgriff auf Shakespeare ein, der in "Der Anspruch der Vernunft" in einer Lektüre des "Othello" kulminiert, die anhand der Analyse der Tragödie als Ausdruck von und Antwort an den Skeptizismus das Problem von Wissen und Nichtwissen zu fassen erlaubt. Insofern bietet es sich an, Cavells Überlegungen zum Zusammenhang von Tragödie und Skeptizismus einer kritischen Lektüre zu unterziehen, die im Rahmen seiner eigenen Fragestellung noch einmal nach dem grundsätzlichen Verhältnis von Literatur und philosophischer Wahrheitsfindung fragt.
Theodor Adorno deixou uma série de anotações sobre o romance O Inominável de Samuel Beckett, as quais deveriam ser aproveitadas para a elaboração de um ensaio que nunca chegou a ser escrito. O artigo busca discutir uma dessas anotações, segundo a qual o romance de Beckett poderia ser caracterizado como a consumação de uma tendência do romance contemporâneo em direção ao romance reflexivo. Com o intuito de desdobrar essa questão o artigo recorre a elementos da obra de Beckett e da reflexão de Adorno sobre a forma do romance.
Pokračujúc v zámere predchádzajúceho príspevku tento text otvára znova problém recepcie Kantovho vymedzenia kategórie vznešeného. Variácie, ktoré vykonávajú Schopenhauer, Nietzsche a Adorno predstavujú inovatívne prístupy. Premostenie dejín tejto estetickej kategórie do 20.storočia v myslení sledovaných autorov predstavuje funkčnosť vznešeného v premenách umeleckého a estetického diskurzu a nabáda k jeho aktualizovaniu v súčasnosti.
The paper proposes a new understanding of the notion of “aura” as it emerges, including similarities and differences, in the aesthetic thought of Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno. In particular, the paper shows how, not only in Adorno but already in Benjamin, such a concept designates also the capacity of artwork to refers, by its own internal, to an irreducible otherness. In this perspective, in a world increasingly dominated by a tendency to homologation and mercification – with the resulting identification of art and cultural industry –, contemporary art looks like a continuous oscillation between the will to deny aura and, other times, the awareness of its necessary survival, closely related (in particular, according to Adorno) to the recognition of the need to “save” not only the appearance but also, by that very fact, the aesthetic autonomy.
In Paris, metropolis of xix century, Benjamin traces the new paradigm of modernity: the modern theatrical dimension corresponds to the artistic innovations and to the reproduction of aesthetical requests. Entfremdung and Neutralisierung are the main characters of the Ästhetisierung and they are one with the distraction as principle of reception and the conformism as principle of valuation. This is the context of the aura’s decline. The Adorno’s critical essay on the radio (1963) analyses the transformation of works of art in cultural gifts and, in particular, the loss of autonomy of the musical work of art in the radio listening. The Adorno’s remarks recognize the historical character of aura and a new possibility that it can re-emerge in a new historical dimension of the music.
The necessity of over-interpretation: Adorno, the essay, and the gesture of aesthetic experience
(2013)
This article is a discussion of Theodor W. Adorno’s comment, in the beginning of ‘The Essay as Form’, that interpretations of essays are over-interpretations. I argue that this statement is programmatic, and should be understood in the light of Adorno’s essayistic ideal of configuration, his notion of truth, and his idea of the enigmatic character of art. In order to reveal how this over-interpreting appears in practice, I turn to Adorno’s essay on Kafka. According to Adorno, the reader of Kafka is caught in an aporia: Kafka’s work cannot be interpreted, yet every single sentence calls for interpretation. This paradox is related to the gestures and images in Kafka’s work: like Walter Benjamin, Adorno means that they contain sedimented, forgotten experiences. Instead of interpreting these images, Adorno visualizes the experiences indirectly by presenting images of his own. His own essay becomes gestural.
O objetivo do texto é propor uma interpretação do conceito de sublime na Teoria estética de Theodor Adorno, partindo do confronto com leituras significativas de outros comentadores, de modo a fornecer uma concepção que associe o movimento de transcendência e alteridade da forma estética à dinâmica histórico-processual das obras.
Este artigo busca aliar as leituras de Adorno e Dewey acerca do papel da educação frente o fenômeno da alienação social, focando principalmente a experiência dentro do processo de emancipação. Ao final, busca-se identificar os ideais de coletividade e compromisso como premissas falsas dos processos educacionais.
