In 1936, Walter Benjamin defined the revolutionary class as being
in opposition to a dense and dangerous crowd, prone to fear of the
foreign, and under the spell of anti-Semitic madness. Today, in
formations great or small, that sad figure returns the hatred of
minorities is rekindled and the pied-pipers of the crowd stand
triumphant.Class, by Andrea Cavalletti, is a striking montage of
diverse materials Marx and Jules Verne, Benjamin and Gabriel Tarde.
In it, Cavalletti asks whether the untimely concept of class is
once again thinkable. Faced with new pogroms and state racism, he
challenges us to imagine a movement that would unsettle and
eventually destroy the crowd.
