Norbert Elias and the Frankfurter traditions

Research output: Contribution to journal/Conference contribution in journal/Contribution to newspaper › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

In 1977 Norbert Elias returned to Frankfurt a/M after 43 years in exile. I was a student then, having just arrived from Denmark to study philosophy and the Frankfurt tradition. It is my thesis that this particular seminar and interpretation culture from the 30's had a decisive influence on Norbert Elias' process-oriented sociology and civilisation theory. The way psychoanalytical experiences were combined with sociological themes - where the categories are reflected on a background of a fundamental philosophical knowledge - is a unique civilising interplay with roots in the city of Frankfurt.
