About THIS Book
Benjamin'south famous "Work of Art" essay sets out his boldest thoughts—on media and on culture in general—in their nearly realized form, while retaining an edge that gets under the skin of anybody who reads it. In this essay the visual arts of the machine age morph into literature and theory then back again to images, gestures, and thought.
This essay, nevertheless, is just the beginning of a vast collection of writings that the editors take assembled to demonstrate what was revolutionary about Benjamin's explorations on media. Long earlier Marshall McLuhan, Benjamin saw that the fashion a bullet rips into its victim is exactly the way a movie or pop song lodges in the soul.
This book contains the second, and most daring, of the four versions of the "Work of Fine art" essay—the 1 that addresses the utopian developments of the mod media. The collection tracks Benjamin's observations on the media every bit they are revealed in essays on the production and reception of art; on film, radio, and photography; and on the modern transformations of literature and painting. The volume contains some of Benjamin'southward best-known work alongside fascinating, little-known essays—some appearing for the outset fourth dimension in English language. In the context of his passionate date with questions of aesthetics, the scope of Benjamin's media theory can be fully appreciated.
