Elias Canetti et le refus de la nation
View through CrossRef
In a crucial passage of his reflections on the concept of a nation, Felix Kreissler quotes the author of Crowds and Power, the stateless Jew and convinced internationalist Elias Canetti. But Kreissler’s concept, which intends to develop a positive, if subversive, definition of the Austrian nation, always remained alien to Canetti. Canetti, who was expelled from Vienna, his adoptive home, in 1938 and who became a British citizen in 1952, never gave up his mistrust of nations. The present paper shows in what ways the a priori opposite approaches of the two writers to the problem of patriotism derive from similar experiences and convictions and condition each other.
