Art and Scholarship in Moments of Historical Danger
Consider the nature and function of art and art historical scholarship in the present: Is there still a line—even fine or porous—securing the fragile autonomy of the arts and humanities from commodification in late capitalism? Can art still serve as a negative and critical mirror for reality under the seemingly complete commodification and technological mediation of social life? Is there any real need for art and art historical scholarship even t…
"Para uma política dos "meios puros: Walter Benjamin e a questão da violência
Discutindo os conceitos de Benjamin de meios puros e violência divina, este artigo levanta a questão de como podemos pensar em um domínio de política revolucionária fora e além do direito - uma esfera de justiça e de violência não legal. Para Benjamin, estava claro que havia algo de fundamentalmente "podre no direito" - seja este o direito da monarquia, da democracia ocidental ou de regimes autocráticos. A violência inerente ao direito contradiz-…

Where the Past Was, There History Shall Be: Benjamin, Marx, and the “Tradition of the Oppressed”
As the proverb has it, 'tradition is not to preserve the ashes but to pass on the flame'. Taking this image as a starting point, this paper is interested in non-conservative concepts of tradition and (dis)continuity. If the concept of tradition is normally associated with continuity, the concept of tradition poses the question of transmittability. Is there a continuous medium in which narrations, customs, rites or other material practices can be …

To Win the Energies of Intoxication for the Revolution: Body Politics, Community, and Profane Illumination
This article discusses Walter Benjamin's essay on Surrealism (1929) and focuses on three key elements any anthropological-materialist concept of politics has to address: (1) a profane illumination of the capitalist everyday life, (2) the problem of political representation, and (3) the interdependency of body politics and the (im)possible community of political acting. This article is a contribution to the ongoing debate on 'what is anthropologic…

The Messianic Without Messianism: Walter Benjamin's Materialist Theology
This article discusses Walter Benjamin's messianic thought. Far from being a theological concept proper or a secularized motif of Judeo-Christian religion, the messianic is a complex figure of thought addressing a dimension of profane life that is neither culture nor nature but a 'weak power' within history allowing for a messianic standstill of the self-totalizing and self-eternalizing progress of capitalist 'real-history'. If the messianic is n…
