Research title
The negative of History: German misery and the totality of capital in the 1920s.
Research abstract

The general purpose of the research is to trace the physiognomy of ideological tensions, translated and condensed by the rise of a new historical consciousness in the Age of catastrophe Assuming that the the Weimar Republic establish conjunctural elements that allow us to doubt the origins, the imperatives of the will and the contingency of the gestare of time, the aim is to question how this specific relation of Aufstellung and Verstellung between Self-consciousness and historical objectivity develops. The conceptual hypothesis is that a reconstruction of the Hegelian critique of the dualisms of practical reason through the Verstellung may help to understand this specific relation of displacement between history and autonomy of consciousness in the 1920s in Germany.
