Walter Benjamin is one of the most important figures of modern
culture. The authors focus within this book on Benjamin as a
philosopher, or rather as a critic of modernism entangled in
tradition (mainly Jewish), but also as a writer. Philosophical and
philological readings are accompanied by essays presenting the
complex biography of Benjamin and numerous, often unexpected,
parallels which indicate traces of his reflections in works of
other artists. In consequence, "The Arcades Project", which can be
described as Benjamin's opus vitae, is not only a picturesque
history of Parisian arcades of the mid-19th century. It is also a
polyphonic text, composed of quotations, commentaries and
footnotes, a discussion of the sense of history and the literary
work of art that surprises with its meandering quality.
