摘要:A study of Elias Canetti's "Auto-da-Fe (Die Blendung)", placing the work in its cultural and philosophical contexts. It situates the novel not only in relation to Canetti's body of social thought, but also within debates on Freud, misogyny, racial anti-semitism, the failure of humanism, and more.
