Abstract
Crises Aesthetic and Politic: Walter Benjamin and the revolutionary
reader
In the chapters that follow, I try to draw a line of thought that
starts from questions of misinterpretation concerning Benjamin's
artwork essay. In what branches off from there I try to maintain a
level of critical intensity and determined non-determination. For
example, the first chapter starts with the question of the
existence of a definitive version of the Kunstwerk essay
and, along the way in addressing that problem, also tries to lay
out a new way of approaching the critical works of Walter Benjamin
as exemplifying a new way of (or return to old ways even!) reading
texts in an age where scholarly work seems to be growing
increasingly sensitive to issues dealing with the erasure or
covering up of less canonical traditions outside the pale of
"standard" or "orthodox" criticism.
