Goethe versus Benjamin
Walking in Berlin
This volume brings an important document of its times in Weimar Germany to the English-speaking readership. The translation by Amanda DeMarco does well in capturing Franz Hessel’s tone, and does th
Aftermaths
Aftermaths is a collection of essays offering compelling new ideas on exile, migration, and diaspora that have emerged in the global age. The ten contributors—well-established scholars and promising new voices—work in different disciplines and draw from diverse backgrounds as they present rich case studies from around the world. In seeking fresh perspectives on the movement of people and ideas, the essays included here look to the power of the ae…
Flight Forward
The Weimar period in Germany produced speculative forms of political discourse that need to be read in their full radicalism rather than as alternatives to the forms of government to which we, living in a different history, restrict the meaning of politics. Walter Benjamin provides a model for this expansion of our ideas—there is no parliamentary version of the revolutionary work he imagines. Even though Benjamin himself wrote in exceedingly host…
Benjamin heute
Goebel, Rolf J. Benjamin Heute: Gro[beta]stadtdiskurs, Postkolonialitat und Flanerie zwischen den Kulturen. Munich: Iudicium, 2001. 191 pp. euro21.50 paperback. In this book Rolf Goebel provides a new angle on Germanistik and Benjamin studies in the US. In a less orthodox way than usual in Benjamin scholarship-namely without dwelling extensively on the philological and historical analysis of Benjamin's thought-the author considers the relevance o…

Bibliographie der Werke Ernst Jungers
Muhleisen, Horst. Bibliographie der Werke Ernst Jungers, Veroffentlichungen der Deutschen Schillergesellschaft Band 47, Stuttgart: Cotta, 1996. 350pp. Nevin, Thomas. Ernst Junger and Germany: Into the Abyss, 1914-45, Durham: Duke UP, 1996. 284pp. These two books, both to be commended and recommended, signify very different things about their common topic. Thomas Nevin's study, a finely detailed account of Junger and Junger's Germany in his first …
Walter Benjamin and Ernst Junger
Prismatic Thought
Bad Company
John Lechte's lucid and enlightening recent book on Julia Kristeva draws what has already become a long and rich record in her work as a continuum of development. He describes a succession of books and essays, and a succession of ideas and polemical positions to show her as an exemplum of history in which he can turn back layer on layer in the sequence of changes. But while the metaphor of movement through successive stages, of additions to a rec…
The Violent Eye
A German Voice over Paris
Ernst Jiinger emerged from World War I as one of the most highly decorated young officers of the German infantry. Although wounded several times, in his first book, In Stahlgewittern Storm of Steel (1920)], he described his participation in battle as the peak of human experience, as an ecstasy of dangers withstood amid the sublime spectacle of unrestrained destruction. His literary aesthetics and erotics of militarism placed him on the extreme ri…
Romanticism and Marxism
Receiving Ludwig Wittgenstein
Recent years have seen studies of Wittgenstein expanding in three distinct directions under three kinds of impulse. First, the publication up into the 1970s of his posthumous papers as books has provided ample material for renewed complications in all areas of discussion among philosophers specializing in his work. Second, the growing field of literary theory has given a larger circle of scholars an interest in exploring him for ideas which may b…
Reading Comes to Grief
Romanticism and Marxism
The Rose of Babylon
The intellectual limitations of an age are nowhere more evident than in the agreement they produce between opposite views. In every intellectual situation, certain things become almost impossible to believe, almost impossible to understand, while others become almost impossible to avoid. Indeed, without a strict critical consciousness of the prejudices which command language long before we arrive and begin to set its machinery in motion, the most…
Three Headstones
The Coming of the Messiah or the Stoic Burning—Aspects of the Negated Text in Walter Benjamin and Friedrich Schlegel
Eclipse of the Sun
Friedrich Schlegel's novel Lucinde is not, so the author observed in entry 2071 of his Literary Notebooks, a true Romantic work. Earlier he had noted: Eigentlich ist alle Poesie = Romantisch!2 Paradox and contradiction are, of course, not considered unusual in Schlegel's writings. Examples are easy to find, and the principle itself defended. Since the principle of inner organization, the organic whole, is also propounded throughout his career, as…
The Enclosure of Consciousness
The usual procedure in undertaking an analysis of representation in art is to consider it as defined, before all else, by its polar relationship with abstraction. This polarity is made possible in its common or uncritical form, however, only by a particular metaphysics. The simple opposition of these two depends on the presence of a world which is manifest in a modality considered external to the system of representation, and on the notion of a m…
