Walter Benjamin: Overpowering Conformism

By (author) Esther Leslie

| on special |

normal price: R 1 295.95

Price: R 1 165.95

| book description |

In looking at the entirety of Walter Benjamin's work - rather than the four or five essays available in English which tend to form the Benjamin ""canon"" - this book offers insights into a key 20th-century political thinker. It aims to reposition Benjamin's work in its historical and political context. In the examination of his commentary on the politics and aesthetics of technology, from his work on 19th-century industrial culture and his analyses of the Nazi deployment of the bomber, the book recontexturalizes Benjamin's writings.
