商品簡介
Leslie (English and humanities, U. of London, UK) surveys Benjamin's work, including his unpublished German texts, focusing on his commentary on the politics and aesthetics of technology, and on the underpinning of his work, in particular as he responds to Marxism and its interpretations. Her study also investigates Benjamin's political affiliations and the political context in which he wrote. The subtitle alludes to a caution in one of Benjamin's final compositions written at the end of the 1930s; according to Leslie, Benjamin warns against "the energies of conventional interpretation." The book is distributed by Stylus. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
