Antropologia histórica como conceito de história natural em Adorno

Abstract: The theme of this article deals with the historical anthropology found in "The Authoritarian Personality" and grounded on "Dialectic of Enlightenment". Specifically, we approach the conceptualization that understands the drives’ movements (as explained by the Freudian theory) as internal nature, foundation of the anthropological conception discussed here. By referring to anthropology and nature, we are not thinking about immutable and "biologizing" notions, but historical and contextual ones. Therefore, we use mainly the "Idea of natural history", precisely the dialectic between history and nature. In the text, Adorno deals with two movements of this dialectic: a conception of Lukács, for whom elements of history became naturalized as second nature, which can be exemplified by the hollywoodian schematism promoted by the cultural industry; the second movement, under the influence of Walter Benjamin, that deals with the historical transience of nature, when archaic remnants repressed
