Weak Messianism: Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project

[faizevon]

this is a very important lecture in terms of what it wishes to say; but frankly professor gelley could have shared his essay online and just left it at that; his speaking style is so colorless, passive, unenthusiastic, and distracted that it offends me to hear it; benjamin deserved and deserves more focus and passion than this; i am grateful for hearing the essay i just wish someone else had read it out

This is boring and obvious. Was that Benjamin was getting at?

needs to look more professional. good info!

Excellent lecture, especially on the Judaic aspect of his thinking. Science fiction with a moral message is a form of Hagada too

This was very helpful. I wish there had been more time to discuss the arcades project, but I will look for Prof Gelley's writing about Benjamin.

thanks for this.
