93 Adorno’s diagnosis was as follows: ‘Modern character types are those
who neither have an ego nor really act unconsciously, but who mirror an
objective feature reflexively. Together they carry out a senseless ritual,
follow the compulsive rhythm of repetition, and become emotionally
deprived: the destruction of the ego is accompanied by the growth in
narcissism or its collectivist derivatives’ (Adorno, ‘Zum Verhältnis von
Soziologie und Psychologie’, GS, vol. 8, p. 83); cf. Bonacker, ‘Ohne Angst

100 In his account of Adorno’s critique of the subject, Bonacker establishes
that the particular nature of Adorno’s critical theory is ‘that it focuses on
the immanent meanings of individuality as they have been developed
by modern society – albeit not in the sense that it simply contrasts this
individuality with the individuality that has failed to materialize.’ Instead,
he is concerned ‘to show how in the individual modern society creates its
own opposite, one that only obtains the strength to live from the tension
with society’ (Bonacker, ‘Ohne Angst verschieden sein können’, p. 141).
