Thinking in Constellations: Walter Benjamin in the Humanities by Nassima Sahraoui and Caroline Sauter
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1 mb
Overview: With his powerful thought image of the constellation, Walter Benjamin provides a method for the core practices of the Humanities: reading, writing, and thinking. This collection of provocative essays demonstrates how thinking in constellations with Walter Benjamin leads us towards a new understanding of the critical task of the Humanities today: it goes beyond disciplinary boundaries and challenges assumptions of linearity, coherence, and progression inherent in our scholarly praxis. The volume brings some of the most articulate young voices in international Benjamin scholarship together, and takes an interdisciplinary approach, covering wide-ranging fields of knowledgequantum physics, postcolonial studies, natural philosophy, psychoanalysis, film theory, literature, and the arts. Benjamins texts are re-considered in light of thinkers and poets, such as Theodor W. Adorno, Sigmund Freud, Gottfried E. Leibniz, W. G. Sebald, Franz Kafka, or Carlos MartÃnez Rivas. The critical potential of constellations in Benjamins work and beyond will be of the highest interest for researchers and students in all areas of the Humanities.
