Siegfried Kracauer: sociologia e superfícies. Escritos até 1933
Keywords in Portuguese

Abstract in Portuguese
Esta tese objetiva analisar a obra do intelectual judeu-alemão Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966) produzida até o ano de 1933. Especialmente em sua atividade como publicista, Kracauer desenvolveu procedimentos de observação social que tinham como objetivo a análise de fenômenos de superfície, expressos por objetos relativamente marginais, pontuais e de extração cotidiana (por exemplo, o best-seller, a dança, o cinema, a moda etc.). Kracauer acompanhou elementos da vida social alemã durante a República de Weimar sob uma perspectiva epistemológica peculiar, que visava entender o conteúdo múltiplo de uma época a partir da interpretação minuciosa de suas manifestações mais ínfimas. Acompanho a trajetória de seu pensamento e procuro oferecer um modo de ler seus textos sobre as mais variadas e inusitadas temáticas. Nessa leitura, emergem as perspectivas de que esses trabalhos oferecem, por um lado, um diagnóstico de época; por outro, viabilizam uma forma específica de análise social, pautada na observação de fenômenos relativamente marginais. Durante o processo de interpretação dos ensaios kracauerianos, procuro expor o diálogo que ele manteve com o pensamento social contemporâneo e a constelação teórica que possibilitou tal junção entre sociologia e superfícies para o oferecimento de uma crítica do presente; além disso, aponto para o teor iluminista da sua reflexão, em contraposição a movimentos nostálgicos e regressivos que marcaram o período

Abstract in English
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the works of the Jewish-German intellectual Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966) in the period up to 1933. Especially during his career as a publicist, Kracauer developed methods for social observation in order to analyze surface phenomena, represented by relatively marginal, particular and everyday life objects (the best seller, dance, movies and fashion, for example). During the Weimar Republic, Kracauer monitored elements of German social life, making use of a singular epistemological perspective that sought to understand the multiple contents of an epoch through the in-depth interpretation of its minutest manifestations. I set out to track the development of his thought and present a reading of his texts centering on varied and unusual themes. Such a reading offers two perspectives: a diagnosis of the times (Zeitdiagnose) on the one hand, and a specific form of social analysis based on relatively marginal phenomena on the other. During the process of interpreting Kracauers essays, I present his dialogue with social thought from the time as well as the theoretical constellation that allowed for such a connection between sociology and surface phenomena in creating a critique of the present. Additionally, I highlight the enlightened content of his reflections, in opposition to the nostalgic and regressive movements that marked the period
