La lecture de leurs échanges offre une immersion dans cette partie de l'histoire du XXe siècle et de l'intelligentsia allemande et internationale qu'il nous est ainsi permis d'explorer à travers le prisme d'une relation hors du commun et en prise perpétuelle avec l'histoire qui mena de l'entre-deux-guerres à la catastrophe et contraignit de nombreux intellectuels à l'exil et à une vie précaire, souvent jusqu'au désastre.

This collection features original essays that examine Walter Benjamin’s and Theodor Adorno’s essays and correspondence on literature. Taken together, the essays present the view that these two monumental figures of 20th-century philosophy were not simply philosophers who wrote about literature, but that they developed their philosophies in and through their encounters with literature.Benjamin, Adorno, and the Experience of Literature is divided into three thematic sections. The first section contains essays that directly demonstrate the ways in which literature enriched the thinking of Benjamin and Adorno. It explores themes that are recognized to be central to their thinking—mimesis, the critique of historical progress, and the loss and recovery of experience—through their readings of literary authors such as Baudelaire, Beckett, and Proust. The second section continues the trajectory of the first by bringing together four essays on Benjamin’s and Adorno’s reading of Kafka, whose work helped them develop a distinctive critique of and response to capitalism. The third and final section focuses more intently on the question of what it means to gain authentically critical insight into a literary work. The essays examine Benjamin’s response to specific figures, including Georg Büchner, Robert Walser, and Julien Green, whose work he sees as neglected, undigested, or misunderstood.This book offers a unique examination of two pivotal 20th-century philosophers through the lens of their shared experiences with literature. It will appeal to a wide range of scholars across philosophy, literature, and German studies.

Ce livre renouvelle et acère la théorie critique par le féminisme. Il interroge la philosophie sociale de Theodor W. Adorno et propose de penser, au moyen des théories du care, la question de la fragilité sociale du souci des autres. Comment le geste moral émerge-t-il dans notre forme de vie capitaliste sous-tendue par une indifférence généralisée ? Quelles en sont les conditions sociales ? Son hypothèse est que le capitalisme compartimente l’attention à autrui, limite son possible développement en l’assignant aux femmes, dans des domaines et pour des tâches toujours spécifiques. Comment appréhender le contenu moral du care effectivement mis en actes, dès lors qu’il se révèle être le produit d’une distribution genrée des dispositions morales, celle-ci étant une condition de possibilité du marché ?

Identity has become a central feature of national conversations: identity politics and identity crises are the order of the day. We celebrate identity when it comes to personal freedom and group membership, and we fear the power of identity when it comes to discrimination, bias, and hate crimes. Drawing on Isaiah Berlin's famous distinction between positive and negative liberty, Theodor Adorno and the Century of Negative Identity argues for the necessity of acknowledging a dialectic within the identity concept. Exploring the intellectual history of identity as a social idea, Eric Oberle shows the philosophical importance of identity's origins in American exile from Hitler's fascism. Positive identity was first proposed by Frankfurt School member Erich Fromm, while negative identity was almost immediately put forth as a counter-concept by Fromm's colleague, Theodor Adorno. Oberle explains why, in the context of the racism, authoritarianism, and the hard-right agitation of the 1940s, the invention of a positive concept of identity required a theory of negative identity. This history in turn reveals how autonomy and objectivity can be recovered within a modern identity structured by domination, alterity, ontologized conflict, and victim blaming.
