Stars, phosphor and chemical colours: extraterrestriality in the arcades
Esther Leslie pages -
Abstract
Leslie’s article investigates Benjamin’s discussions of celestial bodies and extraterrestriality in The Arcades Project, and suggests an analogy between the work of a watchman and the implications of the text. This article comments on the relationship between this work and modern societies, and suggests how contemporary capitalism might have been influence by The Arcades Project. Leslie also suggests this significance of Benjamin’s use of cartographic metaphors.
