Can a broad theological field be kept together in one scientific and educational framework today, or is the idea of a theological faculty to be abandoned? This study investigates the idea of an autonomous academic theology, and tries to give reasons for its continuation. The author makes use of Theodor W. Adorno's multifaceted critical theory to formulate a notion of theology that challenges the idea of academic theology as an exclusively Christian endeavor, but also the idea implying that such a theology either has to be assimilated with other disciplines or migrate from the secular academy into the realm of the Church. In dialogue with Adorno the notion of intellectual self-critique is put forward as a principle in terms of which theology can be seen as one among other secular forces in the establishment of academic rationality. The academy is viewed as a force field in which the battle about democracy and enlightenment is taking place. To view theology as self-critique is thus ultimately an attempt to enable a serious theological participation in the general debate on the dialectics of secular society.

Adorno är kritisk till idén om att surrealismens kraft låg i dess drömlikhet med följd att den skulle kunna tydas psykoanalytiskt, samtidigt menar han att både drömmen och surrealismen representerar ett sorts löfte. Resonemanget kopplas vidare till idén om en upplysningens dialektik, via en kommentar om Hegels frihetsbegrepp: subjektet förverkligar sig själv genom att upphäva sig själv. Drömmen (men också surrealismen) erinrar om subjektets ursprung i en intentionslös natur, medan friheten är den natur-problematik/dialektik som uppstår när subjektet förnekar detta förhållande till naturen. Bland annat genom att vända mig till Adornos Traumprotokolle (samt vissa andra drömreferenser bl.a. i Minima moralia och Negative Dialektik), gör jag några vidare undersökningar av dessa kopplingar mellan dröm och konst med syfte att säga något om kritisk teori och politik. Jag kommer även att relatera diskussionen till Walter Benjamins text ”Der Surrealismus. Die letzte Momentaufnahme der europäischen Intelligenz” (1929) och det politiska begreppet ”profane Erleuchtung”.
