Adorno’s Jargon of Authenticity grew from a planned German ideology research series

Evidence

To extend this second group of research topics, which were also partly financed from outsidefor example by the German Research Association (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft)Adorno toyed with the idea of a long-term series of research projects on `German ideology’. (In 1964 this became the subtitle of his Jargon of Authenticity, a kind of qualitative content analysis of elevated German speech. ) But for Horkheimer this distinction obviously became less and less relevant, at least from the time of the Mannesmann study onwards. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2110
