Constellations of a Contemporary Romanticism takes its title and
point of departure from Walter Benjamin's concept of the historical
constellation, which puts both "contemporary" and "romanticism" in
play as period designations and critical paradigms. Featuring
fascinating and diverse contributions by an international roster of
distinguished scholars working in and out of romanticism-from
deconstruction to new historicism, from queer theory to
postcolonial studies, from visual culture to biopolitics-this
volume makes good on a central tenet of Benjamin's conception of
history: These critics "grasp the constellation" into which our
"own era has formed with a definite earlier one." Each of these
essays approaches romanticism as a decisive and unexpired thought
experiment that makes demands on and poses questions for our own
time: What is the unlived of a contemporary romanticism? What has
romanticism's singular untimeliness bequeathed to futurity? What is
romanticism's contemporary "redemption value" for painting and
politics, philosophy and film?
