Abstract

VAZ, ALEXANDRE FERNANDEZ. READING MOVEMENT, TWO TIMES: NORBERT ELIAS AND THEODOR W. ADORNO, ON THE CIVILIZATION PROCESS. Rev. Comunic [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.3, pp.355-367. ISSN 2238-121X.  https://doi.org/10.15600/2238-121X/comunicacoes.v24n3p355-367.

The aim in this paper is to present some analysis of a Norbert Elias’ Speech, when he got the Theodor W. Adorno-Pries, in Frankfurt, 1977. The text is called Speech on Adorno: Respect and Critic, and has personal and theoretical commentaries on Adorno, whose relation with Elias was no more than superficial. Elias’s commentaries are on a kind of Marxist Humanism of Adorno. The critical observations are especially on the limits of Marx’s Theory absorbed by Adorno. In this point, I make my critical approach to Elias’ observations, getting into arguments against his Interpretation of Adorno’s Work, especially concerning its relation with Marxism.

Keywords : ELIAS; NORBERT; ADORNO; THEODOR W.; SOCIOLOGY; CIVILIZATION PROCESS.
