Theodor W. Adorno: um crítico na era dourada do capitalismo
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, Florianópolis, 2015.A presente tese apresenta a teoria crítica tardia de Theodor W. Adorno por meio da análise dos diversos elementos que a compõe: sua dimensão política; seu público-alvo; seu objeto de crítica; suas críticas ao capitalismo, à racionalidade predominante na modernidade, à dominação da natureza e à vida danificada; seu projeto de emancipação e sua justificação normativa. Argumenta-se que, ao contrário do que defende a interpretação predominante, não houve uma substituição do objeto da crítica ao longo do percurso teórico do pensador frankfurtiano, da economia política à razão instrumental ou à dominação da natureza, mas sim uma complementação: de forma que a crítica ao capitalismo seguia sendo necessária, mas já não era mais suficiente como análise dos obstáculos que impedem a emancipação. O trabalho visa tanto expor o procedimento teórico crítico adorniano, a dialética negativa, como também questionar o diagnóstico de época e as tendências sociais observadas pelo autor frankfurtiano, e, na medida em que obtiver sucesso nessa dupla empreitada, almeja conseguir, ainda, estabelecer um diálogo crítico entre o autor, o seu tempo e o nosso.Abstract : This Doctoral Dissertation aims to present the late critical theory of Theodor W. Adorno by analyzing the various elements that compose it: its political dimension; its target audience; its object of criticism; its criticism of capitalism, of the prevailing rationality in modernity, of nature?s domination and of the damaged life; its emancipation project and its normative justification. It is argued that, contrary to the predominant interpretation defends, there was not a replacement of the object of criticism during the theoretical trajectory of the Frankfurtian thinker, from political economy to instrumental reason or to nature?s domination, but rather a complement: so the critique of capitalism was still necessary, but it was no longer sufficient as analysis of the obstacles to emancipation. The work aims to expose both the critical theoretical procedure, the negative dialectics, as well as to question the diagnosis of the time and social trends observed by the Frankfurtian author, and, in the extent that succeeds in this double endeavor, seeks also to be able to establish a critical dialogue between the author, his time and ours
Fluctuat nec mergitur or what happened to Reikian psychoanalysis?
No full textThe official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright @ 2006 American Psychological AssociationAlthough Theodor Reik was a celebrated psychoanalyst during the 1950s and 1960s, his work has not resulted in the development of a specific psychoanalytic tradition, and his name has gradually disappeared from Western cultural memory. Following the mode of argumentation of the reductio ad absurdum, the author critically examines six possible explanations for this remarkable observation, thereby drawing on published materials and archival sources relating to the life and works of Reik. Once these explanations have been discarded, the author argues that the main reason for the absence of a Reikian tradition within psychoanalysis stems from Reik's belief in the analytic virtue of intellectual independence. This belief may have contributed to his own departure from the psychoanalytic training institution that he helped to create, yet it also implies that Reikian psychoanalysis somehow lives on in all those practitioners who do not seek to affiliate with a doctrinal school of thought
Mit Theodor Fontane und den preußischen Truppen durch die Rhön
No full textWith Theodor Fontane and the Prussian Troops through the Rhön MountainsThe so-called war books, describing the history of German unification wars, form an extremely important chapter in the middle period of Theodor Fontane’s epic work. These works contain not only detailed reports on military actions, but also fascinating descriptions of the country engulfed by war, places of interest, life of common people and history of the area, which is precisely what makes them so appealing both for a literary scholar and for a historian. Of particular interest are the author’s views on national and political issues, which affect the character of the actual military-historical account. This paper illustrates this on the example of the passage of the Prussian troops through the Central-German Rhön Mountains, described in the second volume of Der deutsche Krieg von 1866.With Theodor Fontane and the Prussian Troops through the Rhön MountainsThe so-called war books, describing the history of German unification wars, form an extremely important chapter in the middle period of Theodor Fontane’s epic work.

Arte y sufrimiento: aproximación a una estética negativa en Theodor W. Adorno
No full textLa presente investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar los aportes teóricos del filósofo alemán Theodor W. Adorno en relación con la progresiva mercantilización del arte en las sociedades del capitalismo avanzado, fenómeno denominado por nuestro autor como Industria Cultural, así como la crítica que al respecto Adorno realizó desde sus reflexiones sobre al arte como posibilidad de dar voz al sufrimiento acumulado, pero negado por la totalidad social antagónica, a fin de plantear una estética negativa.This research aims to study the theoretical contributions of the German philosopher Theodor W.

Siebenjährige Kriegsodyssee Franz Theodor Csokors
No full textDie Machtübernahme von Nationalsozialisten im Jahre 1933 in Deutschland und dann im Jahre 1938 in Österreich setzte der freien Entfaltung der Literatur ein Ende. Um die literarische Freiheit zu bewahren und seine Abneigung gegen Hitlers Politik zum Ausdruck zu bringen, entschieden sich viele Schriftsteller für das Exil. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzte sich das Ziel die Stationen der Exilwanderung Franz Theodor Csokors darzustellen, der als einziger österreichischer Schriftsteller Polen als das Land seiner Emigration wählte. Im Jahre 1938 verließ er seine Heimat, in die er erst im Jahre 1945 nach siebenjähriger Flucht, die ihn über Polen, aus dem er letztendlich vor dem Krieg fliehen musste, Jugoslawien, Bosnien, Kroatien, Insel Curzola und Italien führte, zurückkehrte. Der Autor schildert die Kriegserlebnisse des Dichters, die sein literarisches Schaffen prägten. Es werden auch kurz seine Werke präsentiert, die auf der Flucht entstanden. Zuletzt macht der Autor einen Überblick über Veröffentlichungen, die Csokors Gestalt und Werk gewidmet sind.Seven-year war odyssey of Franz Theodor CsokorThe seizure of power by the National Socialists in Germany in 1933 and in 1938 in Austria severely limited free development of literature. In order to protect literary freedom and to express resentment against the policies of Hitler, many writers decided to emigrate. The purpose of the article is to present the emigration journey of Franz Theodor Csokor, the only Austrian writer who chose Poland for the country of his exile. In 1938 he left his homeland and returned after seven years of exile in 1945. His journey led through Poland, which he was forced to leave because of the war, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Croatia, Curzola and Italy. The author presents the writer’s wartime experience that has been expressed in Csokor’s literary works. He briefly mentions works that were created during the expatriation. At the end the author makes a review of Csokor’s publications and his work.Die Machtübernahme von Nationalsozialisten im Jahre 1933 in Deutschland und dann im Jahre 1938 in Österreich setzte der freien Entfaltung der Literatur ein Ende.

Den uforløste hjemve : Marsklandets mørke natur i Theodor Storms Skimmelrytteren
No full textSince the romantic era, man’s relationship with nature has been connected with strong emotions and ideas, and not all kinds of landscapes are therefore considered equally pretty or nice today. Through an ecocritical reading of the North German author Theodor Storm’s novella the The Rider on the White Horse (Der Schimmelreiter) (1888), this article illustrates why the North Frisian and Danish marshlands have been depicted as an uncanny (unheimliche) place in modern culture, and why this peripheral nature never became an integral part of what we today consider as the Danish landscape. 
Musikstädte as real and imaginary soundscapes: urban musical images as literary motifs in twentieth-century German modernism
No full textPhDThis study examines German literary images of musical life as part of the wider sound identity of the modern German city at the turn of the twentieth century. Focussing on a forty-year period from 1890 to 1930, synonymous with the emergence of the modern German metropolis as an aesthetic object, the project assesses, compares and contrasts how musical life in the Musikstädte was perceived and portrayed by writers in an increasingly noisy urban environment. How does urban musical life influence and condition city writings? What are the differences and similarities between the writings on various musical cities? Can an urban textual sound identity be derived from these differences and similarities? The approach employed to answer these questions is a new, cross-disciplinary one to urban sound in literature, moving beyond reading the key sounds of the urban soundscape using urban musicology, sensorial anthropology and cultural poetics towards a literary contextualisation of the urban aural experience.
The literary motifs of the symphony, the gramophone and urban noise are put under the spotlight through the analysis of a wide range of modernist works by authors who have a special relationship with music. At the centre of this analysis are the Kaffeehausliteratur authors Hermann Bahr, Alfred Polgar and Peter Altenberg, the then Munich-based author Thomas Mann and the lesser known René Schickele. The analysis of these particular works is framed in the music-geographical context of the Musikstadt and literary underpinnings of this topos, ranging from Ingeborg Bachmann to Hans Mayer and, once again, Thomas Mann. In analysing these texts, the methodological approach devised by Strohm, who identifies the blending of a range of urban sounds as a definition of urban space and identity, is applied. His ideas combine historical literary
analysis, musical history and urban sociology. They are rarely used in the analysis of the auditory environment.Arts and Humanities Research Council

Viera Martinková, Ph.D. Year of the defence: 2024 Abstract This bachelor's thesis focuses on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) active in maritime search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea and their effect on international norms. The aim of the thesis is to map the interactions of these NGOs with international organizations, in order to find out if and how they can affect international norms. The research was conducted using the case study method, focusing on three NGOs: Médecins Sans Frontières, ProActiva Open Arms and Sea Watch. The data collection process was done by conducting interviews with NGO representatives, as well as analysing relevant published documents and information concerning the interactions of these NGOs with international institutions. The results show that the most available platform for these search and rescue NGOs to affect international norms is the European Parliament, specifically through ties to its Members....Department of International RelationsKatedra mezinárodních vztahůFakulta sociálních vědFaculty of Social Science
