Notes on Baudelaire's Parisian Tableaux (1939)
Walter Benjamin's largely forgotten paper “Notes on Baudelaire's Parisian Tableaux,” written originally in French and translated into English for the first time here, was delivered at the Abbaye de Pontigny in May of 1939. It is a probable candidate for what he would have presented to the College of Sociology, organized by Georges Bataille and Roger Caillois in Paris, if the war had not cut things short. In this essay, Benjamin slightly diverges …

Monopole d’État pour la Pornographie
L’Espagne possède probablement les plus beaux kiosques à journaux du monde. Le passant qui se promène le long des rues de Barcelone se trouve flanqué de ces structures louches, bigarrées comme des masques de danse sous lesquelles la jeune déesse de l’information exécute sa danse du ventre provocante. Il y a quelques semaines, le Directoire cassa le diadème radieux de ce masque. Il interdit la vente de cinq ou six collections qui ont traité l’amou…
Fuera de lugar
This volume aims to research how Catalan, Galician, Basque and Mirandese literature, cinema and art conceptualize alterity with a focus on the corporeal. The articles explore how the Other is constructed from the perspective of minority culture and how their own identities are created in reference to this Other. Furthermore, the authors reflect on how the dominant cultures (Spanish and Portuguese, respectively) inscribe otherness in minority cult…
Sobre O Programa Da Filosofia Por Vir Über Das Programm Der Kommenden Philosophie on the Program of the Coming Philosophy
Este artigo apresenta a tradução de "Über das Programm der kommenden Philosophie" (Sobre o Programa da Filosofia por Vir), um ensaio escrito por Walter Benjamin em 1917. O texto, representativo do pensamento do jovem Benjamin, aborda o conceito de experiência, reverberando em suas obras posteriores. Benjamin dialoga com o Romantismo Alemão e o Neokantismo, buscando, em contraste com o modelo hegeliano, resgatar o rigor e a cientificidade da filos…

L'exploitation de la nature
Walter Benjamin fut l'un des rares marxistes de la première moitié du 20 e siècle à manifester une sensibilité écologiste. Réfugié en France depuis 1933, menacé par la police de Vichy et la Gestapo, il rédigea son testament philosophique, Sur le concept d'histoire (1940), peu avant son suicide à Port-Bou qui fut sa façon de se soustraire à ses persécuteurs. Dans l'extrait de ce texte à thèses 1 , il développe une critique radicale de l'exploitati…
Theses on the Philosophy of History
A chronicler who recites events without distinguishing between major and minor ones acts in accordance with following truth: nothing that has ever happened should be regarded as lost for history. The class struggle, which is always present to a historian influenced by Marx, is a fight for the crude and material things without which no refined and spiritual things could ehindxist. Historical materialism wishes to retain that image of the past whic…
Mélancolie de gauche
Publicado originalmente em 1931, o ensaio "Mélancolie de gauche" de Walter Benjamin analisa a coletânea de poemas de Erich Kästner, intitulada "Gesang zwischen den Stühlen" (Canto entre duas cadeiras). Benjamin explora a melancolia política que permeia a obra de Kästner, contextualizando-a no período da República de Weimar e na ascensão do nazismo. Ele argumenta que a melancolia de Kästner não é simplesmente um estado de espírito individual, mas …

Origin of the German Trauerspiel
Origin of the German Trauerspiel was Walter Benjamin's first full, historically oriented analysis of modernity. Readers of English know it as "The Origin of German Tragic Drama," but in fact the subject is something else--the play of mourning. Howard Eiland's completely new English translation, the first since 1977, is closer to the German text and more consistent with Benjamin's philosophical idiom. Focusing on the extravagant seventeenth-centur…
The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
In principle a work of art has always been reproducible. Man-made artifacts could always be imitated by men. Replicas were made by pupils in practice of their craft, by masters for diffusing their works, and, finally, by third parties in the pursuit of gain. Mechanical reproduction of a work of art represents something new. With the woodcut graphic art became mechanically reproducible for the first time, long before script became reproducible by …

Ele argumenta que a aura da obra de arte, sua singularidade e autenticidade enraizadas na tradição e no ritual, se perde na era da reprodução em massa.

Doctrine of the Similar (1933)
Insight into the areas of the similar has a fundamental importance for the illumination of large areas of occult knowledge. Such insight, however, is to be gained less by demonstrating found similarities than by reproducing processes which produce such similarities. Nature produces similaritiesone need only think of mimicry. Human beings, however, possess the very highest capability to produce similarities. Indeed, there may not be a single one o…

There are many kinds of collectors and each of them is moved by a multitude of impulses. As a collector Fuchs is primarily a pioneer. He founded the only existing archive for the history of caricature, of erotic art and of the genre picture (Sittenbild). More important, however, is another, complementary, circumstance: because he was a pioneer, Fuchs became a collector. Fuchs is the pioneer of a materialist consideration of art. What made this ma…
Rigorous Study of Art
A bit further on one reads: In order to be more certain of attaining this goal, the first, historical, section has been furnished with a second, systematic, section as a counterpart.2 This arrangement is all the more indicative because it reveals not only the aims but also the limits of an endeavor which was so epoch-making in its time. And, in fact, Wolfflin did not succeed in his attempt to use formal analysis (which he placed at the center of …

The Work of Walter Benjamin in the Age of Information
The kind of thinking that Benjamin embodies today, remarked Siegfried Kracauer somewhat ruefully in 1928 essay, has fallen into oblivion.2 Reviewing Benjamin's two book publications of that same year, Der Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels [The Origin of the German Tragic Drama] and Einbahnstrasse [One-Way Street] the only two major books published under his name in his lifetime Kracauer perceived in Benjamin a type of thinking that is foreign t…

Conversations with Brecht
In a conversation a few evenings ago Brecht spoke of the curious indecision which at the moment prevents him from making any definite plans. As he is the first to point out, the main reason for this indecision is that his situation is so much more privileged than
Charles Baudelaire
Walter Benjamin, one of the foremost cultural ommentators and theorists of the 20th century, is perhaps best known for his analyses of art in the modern age and the philosophy of history. Yet, it was through his study of the social and cultural history of late-19th-century Paris, examined particularly in relation to the figure of the great Parisian lyric poet Charles Baudelaire, that Benjamin tested and enriched some of his core concepts and them…
Marxism and Form
For more than thirty years, Fredric Jameson has been one of the most productive, wide-ranging, and distinctive literary theorists in the United States and the Anglophone world. Marxism and Form provided a pioneering account of the work of the major European Marxist theorists--T. W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse, Ernst Bloch, Georg Lukács, and Jean-Paul Sartre--work that was, at the time, largely neglected in the English-speaking world.…
