The period 1985-1995 saw a new wave of interest, in philosophical
and theoretical circles, in the writings of Walter Benjamin,
associate of the early Frankfurt School and among the most
innovative and uncategorizable of German modernist thinkers. It is
against the horizon of the contemporary theoretical scene,
combining impulses from post-structuralism, feminism, cultural
anthropology, and psychoanalysis, that Sigrid Weigel, one of
Germany's leading Benjamin experts, undertakes her re-reading of
his work. The subject of this sequence of eleven essays, assembled
here for the first time in English translation, is Benjamin as
theorist, whereby his work on thinking in images or UBilddnken and
the relation of this to 'the first material of human existence
...the body" is taken as constituting the specificity of his
philosophy. Arranged in three sections ( "Politics of Images and
Body", "Other - Gender - Readings", and "Memory and Writing") the
essays provide a passage into Benjamin's thinking in images.
