Description

Article. — Thesis Eleven. — 1996 — Vol. 45 — p. 1-15. DOI: 10.1177/0725513696001045003Conversation between Theodor Adorno and Elias Canetti after Canetti’s publication of his book Crowds and Power in 1960. Adorno asks Canetti about the close relationship between crowds and power, survival and self-preservation, and his idea of the “invisible crowd.” Adorno begins by commenting that Canetti’s anthropological works reveal a usually neglected theory about human society and its power structures. This essay was meant to diagnose the key problems of contemporary post-World War II society.
