箴言式的作品,有些话只能片段地理解
评分是urtext中的urtext,ruin中的ruin了。可以理解为什么最后弃作,阅读这样零散又sparkling的notes 仿佛看到了自己试图写纸写syllabus的时候缠成一团的思路。有很多motifs后来都进了Illuminations,这本是只能当手稿来读。很frustrating但也很惊艳。
评分1. commodity gives cities possibilities--creating a commodity gift--giving a gift to a stranger--fashion 2. Paris as a “landscape built of sheer life--blurred boundary of "interior" & "exterior"--essential solitude--modernity 3. walk takes on a narrative quality--move from present moment to history--extract creativity from walking
评分港大读物。
评分本雅明堪称是现代性和视觉文化研究的教父。
To great writers, Walter Benjamin once wrote, "finished works weigh lighter than those fragments on which they labour their entire lives." Conceived in Paris in 1927 and still in progress when Benjamin fled the Occupation in 1940, "The Arcades Project" (in German, Das Passagen-Werk) is a monumental ruin, meticulously constructed over the course of 13 years - "the theatre," as the author called it, "of all my struggles and all my ideas." Focusing on the arcades of 19th century Paris - glass-roofed rows of shops that were early centres of consumerism - Benjamin presents a montage of quotations from, and reflections on, hundreds of published sources, arranging them in 36 categories with descriptive rubrics such as "fashion," "boredom," "dream city," "photography," "catacombs," "advertising," "prostitution," "baudelaire," "theory of progress." His central preoccupation is what he calls the commodification of things -a process in which he locates the decisive shift to the modern age. This book is Benjamin's effort to represent and to critique the bourgeois experience of 19th century history, and, in so doing, to liberate the suppressed "true history" that underlay the ideological mask. In the bustling, cluttered arcades, street and interior merge and historical time is broken up into kaleidoscopic distractions and displays of ephemera. Here, at a distance from what is normally meant by "progress," Benjamin finds the lost time(s) embedded in the spaces of things.
