Personal memories of Theodor W. Adorno are offered in a speech originally presented at an Adorno conference held in Frankfurt, West Germany, in Sept 1983. Recollections of incidents from the 1920s through the 1950s are presented. W. H. Stoddard.

Originally published in Erzahlkunst und Gesellschaft: Die Gesellschafts-Problematik in der deutschen Literature des 19 Jahrhunderts ([The Art of Narration and Society: The Problems of Society in Nineteenth-Century German Literature], Berlin, 1971). The historical & sociological implications of the fiction of Conrad Ferdinand Meyer are examined. A strong stylization of place, time, & characterization is evident in his works. A central theme is that of heroism, reflecting the bourgeoisie's rejection of the present & romanticization of the past; Meyer rejected the idea of a psychological explanation for his heroes' greatness. Smaller figures are also present, given significance by their involvement with historical forces, which ultimately are simply heroic individuals. This image best fits the ideology of the UMc of bourgeois society. The particular class structure of Germany created a receptive attitude to the heroic irrationalism of Meyer's works, which was not necessarily compatible with the liberalism typical of bourgeois groups in other nations. W. H. Stoddard.

Questions leading to a definition of popular culture (PC) lead to a tentative framework of PC which includes: (1) 'patterns of influence', (2) `content', & (3) `evolution & transmission of particular standards'. An historical overview discusses contact & conflict between PC & popular art (1st formulated by Montaigne) & their growth along with the growth of the Me & the MM of COMM. Reaction to popular literature was in the form of 'righteous indignation, moral worries over the fate of the culture, & attempts to understand through sociol'al study. Contemporary psychol'al, moral, & soc problems raised by PC & art can be equally well attacked by both humanists & soc sci'ts because of the wealth of material available through the MM. P. D. Montagna.
