Walter Benjamin overpowering conformism
Leslie, Esther.
Walter Benjamin overpowering conformism - London Sterling, Va 2000 - xiv, 298 p. ; 22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 276-291) and index.
Esther Leslie?s path-breaking study of Walter Benjamin is unlike any other book presently available in English on Benjamin, in seeking to make a case for a more politicised reading of Benjamin?s oeuvre. In looking at the entirety of Benjamin?s work - rather than the four or five essays available in English which tend to form the Benjamin ?canon? - Leslie offers powerful new insights into a key twentieth-century political thinker, correcting the post-structuralist bias that has characterised so much Benjamin scholarship, and repositioning Benjamin?s work in its historical and political context.
