We celebrate identity when it comes to personal freedom and group membership, and we fear the power of identity when it comes to discrimination, bias, and hate crimes. Drawing on Isaiah Berlin's famous distinction between positive and negative liberty, Theodor Adorno and the Century of Negative Identity argues for the necessity of acknowledging a dialectic within the identity concept. Exploring the intellectual history of identity as a social idea, Eric Oberle shows the philosophical importance of identity's origins in American exile from Hitler's fascism. Positive identity was first proposed by Frankfurt School member Erich Fromm, while negative identity was almost immediately put forth as a counter-concept by Fromm's colleague Theodor Adorno. Oberle explains why, in the context of the racism, authoritarianism, and the hard-right agitation of the 1940s, the invention of a positive concept of identity required a theory of negative identity. This history in turn reveals how autonomy and objectivity can be recovered within a modern identity structured by domination, alterity, ontologized conflict, and victim blaming"--Back cover. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Adorno, Theodor W., |d1903-1969. 650 0 Identity (Philosophical concept) |xHistory. 650 0 Critical theory |zUnited States |xHistory. 650 6 Identité |0(CaQQLa)201-0049362 |xHistoire. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 Théorie critique |0(CaQQLa)201-0013002 |zÉtats-Unis |0(CaQQLa)201-0407727 |xHistoire. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378888 600 17 Adorno, Theodor W., |d1903-1969. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00048481 650 7 Critical theory. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00883690 650 7 Identity (Philosophical concept) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00966889 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 600 17 Adorno, Theodor W. |d1903-1969. |2gnd |0(DE-588)118500775 650 7 Identität. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4026482-8 650 7 Kritische Theorie. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4073840-1 650 7 Philosophie. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4045791-6 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 Cultural memory in the present. 852 0 |bscstacks |hB3199.A34 |iO24 2018
