>After Auschwitz, to write a poem is barbaric.
Do you agree with this quote?

Any good books about j fatigue and its consequences?

Why would it be barbaric to write poetry because a Nazi labor camp existed?

People have written poems after wars and massacres before. Why is this one so different?

>>24889487
The holocaust doesnt matter in the slightest.

>>

Adorno later changed his mind about this when he read the poetry of Celan.
>>
I can't really take Adorno seriously after he said that Schoenberg's Op. 27 'Four Pieces', a completely perfunctory title for a set of four pieces, suggested fragmentation and thus was a reference to the stone tablets on which the ten commandments were first written.
>>
"This is also why Adrian Leverkühn does not know the essentials of composing with twelve tones. All he knows has been told him by Mr. Adorno, who knows only the little I was able to tell my pupils. The real fact will probably remain secret science until there is one who inherits it be virtue of an unsolicited gift.
"The harshness of my requirements is also the reason why, of the hundreds of my pupils, only a few have become composers: Anton Webern, Alban Berg, Hanns Eisler, Winfried Zillig, Roberto Gerhard, Nikos Skalkottas, Norbert von Hannenheim, Gerald Strang, Adolph Weiss. At least I have heard only of these."
- "The Blessing of the Dressing" (1948) in Style and Idea, p. 386 (University of California Press 60th anniversary edition)

*"This is also the reason why Thomas Mann's Adrian Leverkühn..." etc.

Earlier in life, I bought the 'Heidegger is refuted because of his Nazism' line, wholesale. Being and Time is such an innocent work of beauty. I have no idea how people drew those previous conclusions. Certainly not through rigour. Adorno seems to be the product purely of one culture (ideology) against another. Heidegger attempted to transcend ideology, originally. Admirable.

this kind of thing is why i like adorno desu. regardless of whether it's right or wrong (wrong in this case meaning, idk, that a perfunctory title is statistically not unusual?), it's saying 'this is the level of imagination you need when approaching the world, this is how seriously you need to take the smallest thing'. you can't do that without sometimes looking ridiculous. and in fact, does it not make Schoenberg more interesting, does it not cast on his works a new but fitting light, to have, on the horizon of your imagination when listening, the sense of chiseled rocks in the wilderness?
>>
>>24889602
No, not all. It strikes me as the thinking of someone who has no feeling for music whatsoever, who needs to weigh the transcendent down with mundane meaning till the beauty of the form becomes mangled, and, unable to hold itself aloft under such strain, it ultimately crashes to earth in a jumbled heap. It is, in my view, anti-musical thought.
>>
Ridiculous and arrogant.
Im also sure most camp survivors wouldnt agree.

Am I the only person as a youth who didn't buy into Marx? Even here in the states everyone has a brief Marx phase which never occurred with me.

I think I get the gist of what he's saying. Recently I got to know something horrible that happened to someone I know, and I felt like it was impure and pointless to try to portray myself as some sort of liberated, creative soul through literature. I felt like the only purpose in life was to become a man of action to try to mend this kind of tragedies.

However, that feeling was transient. I don't think there's any tragedy serious enough to kill the moral good that good literature is.
>>
>>24889676
No, you’re not.

>Auschwitz
who?
>>
>>24889715
Feelings aren’t real anyway.
>>
What a completely arbitrary cut off point. You think no one wrote poetry after the Mongols wrecked everything and murdered everyone in the most violent manner possible? What about the Black Death? Did he think that was just like 99-year olds passing away from the flu? The Plague probably involved kids puking up their bloody insides, and stray dogs then eating the corpse

Jews were writing them while running from the Gestapo.

I believe in the sun, though it be dark;
I believe in God, though He be silent;
I believe in neighborly love, though it be unable to reveal itself.

>The life of Geist wins its truth only by finding itself in what is absolutely torn apart.

You predicted limousine liberals and exposed marriage as a sham. I'll agree but mark my words frankfurter, the return of empirical alienation is upon us.

No, thats basically how jews make money
>>
>>24889487
they lost the right to complain about the holocaust after the 50 years of ethnic cleansing in gaza. hypocrite mfers.
>>
No, it doesn't make any sense and it shows the folly of jewish exceptionalism that continues to plague our world. The holocaust was not unique and its significance has been grossly overexaggerated, a victimhood narrative that is the sword and shield of the jewish elite who continue to enslave humanity.

What will the Jews do if they are persecuted on a large scale again? If all their advantages are stripped from them, and they are forced back into the ghettos? It might happen. Adorno is the height of fat postwar Jewish arrogance. Never dreaming that the axe might swing another way. As though the Holocaust had settled things forever. Of course, nothing is forever.

>>24891529
a fellow /classical/ poster made it.

No but he's right about all of it, it all sucks and it's all hateable and a mark of cultural decay and unsensitive. I am not jewish fyi.

Adorno was a retarded faggot and he's only read by people who are filtered by Schoenberg.

Ok but everything still sucks and I don't care about music

>>24891571
>I don't care about music

then your opinion can be rightfully discarded.

fucking kek at the stupid take outing him as a hunch-backed troll, for one your spine is supposed to be in a "valley" between your erector spinae, not protruding out into the chair back, and for another, his assumption about needing to walk "straight into" the building is based on absolutely nothing at all because you might have separated the in/out flow of people in two gates side by side, in which case an odd number of columns can work

>>24891557
The only reason you think everything sucks is because it fails to give you pleasure. Once people realize this, they will see your whinging as the pathetoc farce that it is.
Ultimately, Adorno is just another facet pf western civilization's primary drive to satisfy people's increasingly large desires

No.
It's a barbaric quote.

The amount of j’s that survived the notsee “death camps” leads me to believe one of two things:
>death camps were not what we were told
>notsees were incompetent and therefore not the boogie man we’ve been led to believe
Which one is it?
