Book Description

Libro difícilmente clasificable, “Masa y poder” (1960) realiza una investigación original de los fenómenos sociales siguiendo una metodología que permite vincular los datos históricos y sociológicos con la psicopatología, a fin de poner de manifiesto las anomalías del ser humano en su totalidad biopsíquica. En esta obra estimulante, el análisis de la interrelación entre individuo y masa, así como de la manipulación que de ésta lleva a cabo el poder, conduce a Elias Canetti (1905-1994, Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1981) hasta los dominios de la antropología patológica, de la patología social y cultural. Canetti no se detiene, sin embargo, en el simple diagnóstico, sino que, a través de la contraposición entre las constantes del comportamiento colectivo y la expresión del poder, sienta las bases de una terapéutica social.

Elias Canetti

Elias Canetti (25 July 1905 – 14 August 1994) was a German-language writer, born in Ruse, Bulgaria to a Sephardic family. They moved to Manchester, England, but his father died in 1912, and his mother took her three sons back to continental Europe. They settled in Vienna.

Canetti moved to England in 1938 after the Anschluss to escape Nazi persecution. He became a British citizen in 1952. He is known as a modernist novelist, playwright, memoirist, and nonfiction writer. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1981, "for writings marked by a broad outlook, a wealth of ideas and artistic power". He is noted for his nonfiction book Crowds and Power, among other works.
