Dialectical fairyland, cosmic advertising and the mimetic faculty in the Arcades Project
Merrick Burrow pages -

Abstract

Burrow investigates Walter Benjamin’s The Arcades Project, to suggest the manifold implications of his discussion of advertisements, and the impact this has on branding of commodities. This is with particular reference to the relevance of The Arcades Project to the politics and culture of modern societies. Burrow also analyses Benjamin’s thoughts on surrealism, and his explanations of childhood experiences.
