Translating Benjamin in de Man and in Deconstruction More Generally
Translating Benjamin in de Man and in Deconstruction More Generally Ian Balfour (bio) We think and write in the wake of Walter Benjamin and the Frankfurt School, and some of us, with or against our predilections, in the wake of Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida (among other like-minded thinkers) who came to terms with Benjamin in some singular and less singular ways. In what follows I try to take the measure of what is happening in the understandin…

The Force of Black and White
This article scrutinizes James Baldwin's reflections on film and film-going, mainly as set out in the relatively late essays-cum-memoir entitled The Devil Finds Work. The paper considers Baldwin's experiences and reflections with an idea to how black and white are felt and described as asymmetrically oppositional forces, on the one hand, that nonetheless are subject to occasional and startling crossovers, especially in his early viewing of films,…
Shelley and the Bible
This chapter attempts to characterize the types and texture of biblical elements of in Shelley's poetry and prose, suggesting that the most distinctively biblical posture Shelley at times adopts is that of the biblical prophet, variously visionary, even apocalyptic. He does this in far less resolute, less absolute fashion than Blake, but the prophetic strain is unmistakable. The analysis includes works such as ‘On Christianity’, The Mask of Anarc…

Nancy on Film
This article considers Nancy’s thinking about film in the light of his writings on art in general. Nancy contends that what is so commonly considered ‘representation’ is more properly understood as presentation, even, perhaps counter-intuitively, in the domain of film. Nancy proposes that the principal dynamic in Kiarostami’s exemplary films turns on the regard, the gaze that is not simply looking but even proximate to thinking. The article also …
Subtitles
Translating the experience of film: filmmakers, writers, and artists explore the elements of that make us and inside at the same time. Every is a film, Atom Egoyan and Ian Balfour tell us in their introduction to Subtitles. How, then, to translate the experience of film-which, as Egoyan says, makes us feel outside and inside at the same time? Taking subtitles as their point of departure, the thirty-two contributors to this unique collection consi…

Holderlin
Reversal, Quotation (Benjamin's History)
Zweideutigkeit Benjamin writes, die bildliche Erscheinung der Dialektik, das Gesetz der Dialektik im Stillstand.1 Ambiguity is the figurative appearance of the dialectic, the law of the dialectic at a standstill.2 In thinking the category of history, the dialectical philosopher par excellence paused to consider the ambiguity, the dialectic at a standstill, of the word for history. In his Lectures on the Philosophy of History, Hegel remarked: Gesc…
