Carlos Eduardo Jordão Machado (Univ. Sao Paolo):
Der Aufbau von Siegfried Cracauers "Die Angestellten"
Date and Venue of the lecture: 21st January 2014, 2.00 pm, Institute of Philosophy, Research Centre for the Humanities, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 30. Országház Street, 2. floor, "Pepita" room.
Der Vortrag stellt eine Zusammenstellung von zwölf Essays dar, die in der Frankfurter Zeitung erschienen waren und danach sofort (1930) auch in Buchform herauskamen. In Berlin konnte Kracauer in die Welt der Angestellten eintauchen und sich dabei der unterschiedlichsten Quellen – von der soziologischen Literatur zum Thema bis hin zu Gewerkschafts- und Parteizeitungen – bedienen. Seine Analyse der Angestellten, sein Verständnis dieses neuen Typs Lohnarbeiter, d.h., dieser „neuen Mittelschicht“, sein Sein und sein (falsches) Bewusstsein ist Teil der Basis seiner eigenen Interpretation des Nazifaschismus, die Kracauer ab dem Beginn seines Paris-Exils (1933) entwickelt. Das Buch ist ein unerreichtes Beispiel dessen, was Benjamin die „Politisierung der Intelligenz“ nannte.

FERENC HÖRCHER: Aesthetic Thought and Practice in Courtly Culture: The case of Sir Philip Sidney
Date and Venue of the lecture: 30 April 2013, 16.00 pm, Institute of Philosophy, Research Centre for the Humanities, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 30. Országház Street, 2. floor, "Pepita" room.
The key question of the paper was brought up at the intersection of two parallel research projects. One of them, an OTKA-project, focused on late Renaissance, early modern aesthetic thought, the other, an NKA research, was to provide an overall picture of the aesthetic thought of the age of Enlightenment. Both of them led to the figure and oeuvre of Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586). The figure, cult and poetic work (The Defence of Poetry (1596)) of the English poet, courtier and soldier raises the following question: What does the concept of taste mean in this period, and how does it connect moral philosophy with politics and aesthetics?
