Siegfried Kracauer, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor W. Adorno -
affiliated through friendship, professional ties, and argument -
developed an astute philosophical critique of modernity in which
technological media played a key role. This book explores in depth
their reflections on cinema and photography from the Weimar period
up to the 1960s. Miriam Bratu Hansen brings to life an impressive
archive of known and, in the case of Kracauer, less known materials
and reveals surprising perspectives on canonic texts, including
Benjamin's artwork essay. Her lucid analysis extrapolates from
these writings the contours of a theory of cinema and experience
that speaks to questions being posed anew as moving image culture
evolves in response to digital technology.
