by Walter Benjamin, 1937 5 main ideas: TO flash movies that illustrate these ideas click on the number to go to the flash movie click on the keyword to go to that part of the essay To an ever greater degree the work of art reproduced becomes the work of art designed for reproducibility The film responds to the shriveling of the aura with an artificial build-up of the "personality" outside the studio. The equipment-free aspect of reality here has become the height of artifice; the sight of immediate reality has become an orchid in the land of technology. Magician and surgeon compare to painter and cameraman. By close-ups of the things around us, by focusing on hidden details of familiar objects, by exploring commonplace milieus under the ingenious guidance of the camera, the film, on the one hand, extends our comprehension of the necessities which rule our lives; on the other hand, it manages to assure us of an immense and unexpected field of action. . . . With the close-up, space expands; with slow motion, movement is extended. KEY CONCEPTS: TO images original aura cult value ... dadaism THE COMPLETE TEXT (Footnote numbers appear thus: . The notes are at the end of the file.) PREFACE I II III ... NOTES "Our fine arts were developed, their types and uses were established, in times very different from the present, by men whose power of action upon things was insignificant in comparison with ours. But the amazing growth of our techniques, the adaptability and precision they have attained, the ideas and habits they are creating, make it a certainty that profound changes are impending in the ancient craft of the Beautiful. In all the arts there is a physical component which can no longer be considered or treated as it used to be, which cannot remain unaffected by our modern knowledge and power.

The Dialectics of Allegoresis: Historical Materialism in Benjamin's Illuminations John Parker Other Voices , v.1, n.1 (March 1997) I. Allegories of Historical Materialism A llegoresis and collection are the twin foci around which the elliptical writings of Walter Benjamin orbit. The former, as a mode of criticism, transforms the latter practice into a version of materialist historicism: The period, the region, the craftsmanship, the former ownershipfor a true collector the whole background of an item adds up to the magic encyclopedia whose quintessence is the fate of his object There are two particularly good ways of collecting books, Benjamin explains. One, the most praiseworthy, is to write them oneself. Another is to inherit. He synthesizes the two in his own criticism by writing what he has inherited, (quotations, ideas, images) and adding what he has written to his collection of books. Here is how "Unpacking my Library" ends: For inside [the collector] there are spirits, or at least a little genii, which have seen to it that for a collectorand I mean a real collector, a collector as he ought to beownership is the most intimate relationship that one can have to objects. Not that they come alive in him; it is he who lives in them. So I have erected one of his dwellings, with books as the building stones, before you, and now here he is going to disappear inside, as is only fitting (67). I will address later the significance of the repeated attempt to define "true" collection, but for now I want to emphasize how once Benjamin's essay becomes a part of his collection, the author (the speaking voice, but speaking of himself in the third person as he becomes other) is dialectically folded into the objects which surround him. Man can only become fully alive to himself when he sees his relation to the past. The way to approach that past, however, is through objects, which, in the Western, post-Kantian tradition, ought forever to alienate a subject from his own historical constitution. Unless, as the above quotation demonstrates, that subject is an Hegelian (that is, dialectically reasoning) collector of objects who, by writing what he has inherited and then collecting what he has written, inherits himself and his past in all its fullness.

Walter Benjamin on book collecting Pop.culture - Walter Benjamin-links "I have made my most memorable purchases on trips, as a transient. Property and possession belong to the tactical sphere. Collectors are people with a tactical instinct; their experience teaches them that when they capture a strange city, the smallest antique shop can be a fortress, the most remote stationery store a key position. How many cities have revealed themselves to me in the marches I undertook in the pursuit of books!" Walter Benjamin : "Unpacking my Library" ex officio . But, as Hegel put it, only when it is dark does the owl of Minerva begin its flight. Only in extinction is the collector comprehended. O bliss of the collector, bliss of the man of leisure! Of no one has less been expected, and no one has had a greater sense of well-being than the man who has been able to carry on his disreputable existence in the mask of Spitzweg,'s "Bookworm." For inside him there are spirits, or at least little genii, which have seen to it that for a collector - and I mean a real collector, a collector as he ought to be - ownersliip is the most intimate relationship that one can have to objects. Not that they come alive in him; it is he who lives in them. So I have erected one of his dwellings, with books as the building stones, before you, and now he is going to disappear inside, as is only fitting.

The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction Walter Benjamin "Our fine arts were developed, their types and uses were established, in times very different from the present, by men whose power of action upon things was insignificant in comparison with ours. But the amazing growth of our techniques, the adaptability and precision they have attained, the ideas and habits they are creating, make it a certainty that profound changes are impending in the ancient craft of the Beautiful. In all the arts there is a physical component which can no longer be considered or treated as it used to be, which cannot remain unaffected by our modern knowledge and power. For the last twenty years neither matter nor space nor time has been what it was from time immemorial. We must expect great innovations to transform the entire technique of the arts, thereby affecting artistic invention itself and perhaps even bringing about an amazing change in our very notion of art." * Paul Valery, PIECES SUR L 'ART, "La Conquete de l'ubiquite," Paris. *Quoted from Paul Valery, *Aesthetics*, "The Conquest of Ubiquity," translated by Ralph Manheim, p. 225.

Walter Benjamins Text "Das Kunstwerk im Zeitalter seiner technischen Reproduzierbarkeit" und seine Bedeutung für die ästhetische Theorie Inhalt: Einleitung Das Kunstwerk und der Verlust seiner Aura Adorno und der Begriff der Aura 1. Einleitung 2. Das Kunstwerk und der Verlust seiner Aura Der Text von Walter Benjamin aus dem Jahre 1935 beschreibt die einschneidenden Veränderungen der Arbeitswelt durch Automatisierung und Kapitalisierung, die sich mit zeitlicher Verzögerung auf den Bereich der Kunst auswirken. Dieser Wandel - in seiner ökonomischen Begründung und im gesellschaftspolitischen Zusammenhang - ist Gegenstand Benjamins Analyse. Die auf diese Weise von Benjamin extrahierten "Entwicklungstendenzen der Kunst unter den gegenwärtigen Produktionsbedingungen" (2) werden von einem Phänomen dominiert: dem "Verfall der Aura" (3). Als Bündelung diverser Veränderungen, die dem Kunstwerk im Zeitalter der technischen Reproduzierbarkeit widerfahren, wird dieser Ausdruck notwendigerweise mehrdeutig. "Das Hier und Jetzt des Kunstwerks" (4) als historische Trägersubstanz, die seine Autorität und Echtheit ausmacht, geht durch die Reproduktion verloren. Benjamin schickt voran, daß Kunstwerke schon immer reproduziert wurden, jedoch als Übung von Schülern, und von Meistern zur Verbreitung der Werke. Auch Musik wurde immer schon reproduziert, da als Überlieferung ja nur der Notentext vorhanden war. Der gesamte Bereich der Echtheit entzieht sich aber der technischen Reproduktion. Laut Benjamin erhält die manuelle Reproduktion gegenüber dem "Original" seine Autorität aufrecht. Bei der technischen ist dies nicht der Fall, da sie dem Original gegenüber selbstständiger ist, als die manuelle. Dies beruht auf zwei Dingen:

Benjamin, Walter A principal preoccupation of the theory and criticism of Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) is criticism itself. For Benjamin, in its broadest sense critique means that nothing can simply be taken as given. Any text or artifact always demands something more, exceeds itself, in a movement that structures not only literature and culture but also history itself. As early as his dissertation, Der Begriff der Kunstkritik in der deutschen Romantik [The concept of aesthetic criticism in German Romanticism] (1920), Benjamin explored the notion of critique as ("fulfillment," "completion"), claiming with the Romantics (primarily Friedrich Schlegel) that critique was immanent to the movement of art itself and thus less something contingent to art than its necessary supplement. There would be no art without critique, not because critique has priority over art but because the artifact is itself unfinished, already critical from the start. In an essay on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 's Elective Affinities (1922) that Hugo von Hofmannsthal called "epoch-making," Benjamin insisted on the difference between critique and commentary, the former concerned with "truth content," the latter with "subject matter." Against the tradition of monumentalizing biography that dominated Goethe criticism, Benjamin saw the work's history as a "funeral pyre," at which the commentator could study the wood and ashes, while the critic "is concerned only with the enigma of the flame itself, . . . the truth whose living flame goes on burning over the heavy logs of the past and the light ashes of life gone by" (quoted in

Walter Benjamin committed suicide in 1940 without ever making it to America. He never produced a systematic work of criticism on 20th-century mass culture. Until the 1970s almost none of his writings had been translated into English. And yet, when the history of American cultural studies finally gets written, Benjamin undoubtedly will be one of its crucial figures. All of which makes the publication of an ambitious new edition of Benjamin's selected writings a genuinely exciting event. In place of a limited selection of Benjamin's more immediately accessible pieces, American readers now have the chance to wander the full range of his work, and to gain a real sense of the often contradictory but always provocative combination of philosophy, criticism, and cultural history that it offers. Benjamin's influence has grown steadily since his essays became available in English, and a recent flood of books about him and his writings including the charming but thin Momme Brodersen biography from Verso testifies to his continued importance. From the start, film theorists, cultural historians, and literary critics seized upon this thinker who combined theoretical rigor and Left politics with often dramatic insights into the workings of culture generally and popular culture specifically. Writing in a historical moment when new technologies of mass reproduction were altering the terrain of daily life, Benjamin probed the relationships between high and low culture, between Romanticism and modernity, between literature and film. In doing so, he helped frame the central questions of what we now know as cultural studies, even if he never offered anything resembling a comprehensive theory of culture.

He is known for his synthesis of eccentric Marxist theory and Jewish messianism. In particular, his essays on Charles Baudelaire and Franz Kafka as well as his speculation on symbolism, allegory, and the function of art in a mechanical age have profoundly affected contemporary criticism. Benjamin was influenced by his close friendship with the historian of Jewish mysticism Gershom Gerhard Scholem . In 1933, he moved to France because of the rise of the Nazis. When the Nazis invaded France, he fled to Spain, was denied entry, and committed suicide. Bibliography See collections of his essays edited by H.

Walter Benjamin * 15.07.1892, Berlin 26.09.1940, Port-Bou / Spanien Philosoph, Essayist und Literaturkritiker Der wichtigste Ideengeber der neueren deutschen Literaturwissenschaft war ein 'gescheiterter Germanist'. Walter Benjamins Dissertation Der Begriff der Kunstkritik in der deutschen Romantik (1920) wurde von der Fachöffentlichkeit kaum wahrgenommen, seine Habilitationsschrift Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels (1928) von der Frankfurter Universität sogar abgelehnt. Unter immer schwierigeren Bedingungen schlug Benjamin sich in der Weimarer Republik und nach 1933 im Pariser Exil als Essayist ( Einbahnstraße , 1928) und Literaturkritiker durch. Sieht man vom großen, allerdings fragmentarisch gebliebenen Projekt des sogenannten Passagenwerks ab (Nachlaßpublikation 1983), so mußte er seine theoretischen Ansprüche und Argumente nun in kurzen literarischen Essays und Rezensionen entfalten oder besser gesagt 'verstecken'. Dabei verbindet er auf überraschende Weise Denkmotive marxistischen wie auch jüdisch-messianischen Ursprungs. Stilistisch vollzieht er eine Wendung von der philosophisch-spekulativen Sprache des Frühwerks zu einer Ausdrucksweise, die deskriptiv und detailgenau, thesenhaft pointiert und 'einfach' zugleich ist (und deshalb bis heute so gern zitiert wird). Mit seinem Motto "Die entscheidenden Schläge werden mit der linken Hand geführt"

All About Walter Benjamin (Pronounced "BIN-YA-MIN") Benjamin, a German Jew and close associate of the Frankfurt School in interwar Germany, was a contemporary of such prominent Frankfurt School luminaries as Theodor Adorno Max Horkheimer , and Georg Lukacs ; yet his work is now probably more widely known, certainly in Anglo-American circles, than that of his one-time colleagues. Indeed, something of a cult has grown around this man whose reputation soared more than a generation after he committed suicide on the Franco-Spanish border in September 1940, believing himself to be near capture by the Gestapo. As recently as the 1960s, a cultural and media theorist as notable as Marshall McLuhan could argue seriously that he had never heard of Benjamin or his work (even though much of McLuhan's own writings appear to draw heavily on concepts first advanced by Benjamin). Such an assertion by any serious cultural theorist would be unthinkable today. Benjamin's ideas have, in recent years, been recognized as central precursors to
