Alain Brossat, Brecht and Lukacs ; Stalinists in their context
In this article, the author outlines a paradox the analysis of which appears to him stimulating for the understanding of Stalinism : while Brecht and Lukacs were diametrically opposed to each other in the well-known literary and aesthetic discussion in which they engaged, their positions were closer and they appear as « twin stars » when their situation as intellectuals under Stalinism is considered. Seen from this angle, the Brecht-Lukacs relationship, the convergent elements of which can be found in their respective attitudes to Stalinism and in their « Stalinist » way of thinking, gives us an opportunity of exploring the infinitely complex relationship between intellectuals and Communism in the 1930's. An « arranged marriage » rather than a profession of faith, the conversion of Brecht and Lukacs to Stalinism, sheds an often unexpected light on what was the « commitment » of the radical intelligentsia between the wars.
