Walter Benjamin was fascinated by the impact of new technology on
culture, an interest that extended beyond his renowned critical
essays. From 1927 to '33, he wrote and presented something in the
region of eighty broadcasts using the new medium of radio. Radio
Benjamin gathers the surviving transcripts, which appear here for
the first time in English. This eclectic collection demonstrates
the range of Benjamin's thinking and his enthusiasm for popular
sensibilities. His celebrated "Enlightenment for Children" youth
programs, his plays, readings, book reviews, and fiction reveal
Benjamin in a creative, rather than critical, mode. They flesh out
ideas elucidated in his essays, some of which are also represented
here, where they cover topics as varied as getting a raise and the
history of natural disasters, subjects chosen for broad appeal and
examined with passion and acuity. Delightful and incisive, this is
Walter Benjamin channeling his sophisticated thinking to a wide
audience, allowing us to benefit from a new voice for one of the
twentieth century's most respected thinkers.
