The aporias of theory: negotiating the dialectical image in Walter Benjamin's Arcades project
Adam W. Chalmers pages -
Abstract
Chalmers suggests how nineteenth century Parisian culture was influenced by Walter Benjamin’s The Arcades Project. He explores the text’s concept of historical materialism, and explores the arguments against Benjamin’s claims concerning its social functions. Through this, Chalmers also suggests the significant role of historical materialism in Western metaphysics.
