Un retour en Allemagne après l’exil ? Adorno et la problématique de la ‘Remigration’
Résumé
As early as October 1949, Adorno returned from American exile, to the University
of his home-town, Frankfurt. His decision to do so was by no means an easy one,
especially seen beside the case of his first mentor in philosophy, Siegfried Kracauer.
Among the various reasons that led to Adorno’s decision, the personal and political
ones are explored first of all. In this context, it will often be necessary to take into
account the conditions which sent Adorno into exile. Of even greater importance
is Adorno’s special relationship to the German language and the cultural values
conveyed with it. In a concentrated manner, many of the reasons dealt with reoccur
in the long letter Adorno wrote to Thomas Mann shortly after his return. The article
culminates in an analysis of this letter, a document of singular importance.
