Reclaiming the Fragments:
On the Messianic Materialism of
Walter Benjamin
Section One
By Stephen Bronner
He wished, in 1930, "to be considered as the premier critic of German literature." (Benjamin, Briefe 2 Bde. hrsg. Gershom Scholem und Theodor W. Adorno (Frankfurt/Main), 1966 2:505.) His output was already impressive. The translator of Baudelaire and Proust, he had authored The Origin of German Tragic Drama , (Note the evaluations regarding its incomprehensibility by Hans Cornelius and Franz Schutz in Walter Benjamin 1892- 1940: Eine Austellung bearbeitet von Rolf Tiedemann et. al. fur den Marbacher Magazin No. 55 , 1990, pgs. 72-3; also note the similar reception of Karl Kraus regarding Benjamin's laudatory essay on his work, pg.120ff.) Some unique autobiograpical writings for what would become Berlin Childhood Around 1900 , a compilation of aphorisms entitled One-Way Street , a few scholarly books, a remarkable set of literary studies, and numerous articles for major newspapers. But his greatest work, the thousand page compilation of notes and citations for The Arcades Project , was never completed. (On its proposed structure, cf. Susan Buck-Morss

Volume 25, Number 2 Excerpt from
From Walter Benjamin to Carl Schmitt, via Thomas Hobbes
by Horst Bredekamp
(Translated by Melissa Thorson Hause and Jackson Bond) 1.Traces of Benjamin's Esteem for Schmitt
Walter Benjamin's esteem for Carl Schmitt is one of the most irritating incidents in the intellectual history of the Weimar Republic. It arouses astonishment to this day, connecting as it does Benjamin, a victim of Nazism, to Schmitt, who, with his distinction between friend and enemy, developed a Manichean definition of the political and took a public stance in support of National Socialism in the years after the Machtergreifung Yet this bizarre relationship, which for decades was repressed as inconceivable or dismissed as a mere chance episode, was no isolated incident. Although he was forbidden to teach after 1945 and his reputation remained tainted, Schmitt served as a kind of oracle for countless intellectuals and politicians in Germany and elsewhere before his death in 1985. Finally, he continues to be the subject of increasing interest, even and especially in the United States.

http://www.morose.fsnet.co.uk/blogarchive/thestoryteller.htm
index essays reviews The Storyteller on essays by Walter Benjamin and Dale Peck (5 December 2003) "To write a novel is to take to the extreme that which is incommensurable in the representation of human existence. In the midst of life's fullness and through the representation of this fullness, the novel gives evidence of the profound perplexity of the living." This is a passage from part five of Walter Benjamin's magnificent essay The Storyteller: Observations on the Works of Nikolai Leskov (published in 1936, from Illuminations and also volume three of his Selected Writings . I quote it because I like the idea of taking a novel to that extreme. Benjamin makes the claim that there was a decline in storytelling in the 20th Century; a decline very much in progress when he was writing. Nowadays, it is axiomatic that storytelling is a good thing; something to be cherished. I'm reminded of the final pages of Peter Handke's great novel Repetition (Die Wiederholung, 1986) in which the narrator rounds off his journey, with an reordering, I suppose, of the invocation to the muse at the beginning of an Epic: "

Walter Benjamin: Selected Writings, Volume 3, 1935-1938
Translated by Edmund Jephcott, Howard Eiland, and Others
Edited by Howard Eiland and Michael W. Jennings
    Radical critic of a European civilization plunging into darkness, yet commemorator of the humane traditions of the old bourgeoisiesuch was Walter Benjamin in the later 1930s. This volume, the third in a four-volume set, offers twenty-seven brilliant pieces, nineteen of which have never before been translated. The centerpiece, A Berlin Childhood around 1900 , marks the first appearance in English of one of the greatest German works of the twentieth century: a profound and beautiful account of the vanished world of Benjamin's privileged boyhood, recollected in exile. No less remarkable are the previously untranslated second version of Benjamin's most famous essay, "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility," with its striking insights into the relations between technology and aesthetics, and German Men and Women , a book in which Benjamin collects twenty-six letters by distinguished Germans from 1783 to 1883 in an effort to preserve what he called the true humanity of German tradition from the debasement of fascism.

Review Essays
Walter Benjamin for Historians
VANESSA R. SCHWARTZ
Pedagogic side of this undertaking: "To educate the image-making medium within us, raising it to a stereoscopic and dimensional seeing into the depths of historical shadows." The words are from Rudolf Borchardt's Epilegomena zu Dante Walter Benjamin, The Arcades Project (N 1, 8), 458.
Certain intellectual figures inform and even set the theoretical parameters of historical and historiographical discourse at particular moments. If Michel Foucault seemed to emerge as the philosopher for historians in the 1980s, Walter Benjamin's ascent in American historical circles happened sometime in the 1990s and is not yet over. The latest stir around Benjamin arrives with the recent publication of the long-awaited translation from German and French of his unfinished magnum opus, which he described as "the theater of all my struggles and all my ideas," known in English as The Arcades Project Popular critical opinion about it has ranged from architectural critic Herbert Muschamp's delight in what he dubbed a "towering literary event" to Mark Kingwell's trace of contempt for "an intellectual folly, a massive and spectacular ruin."

In the Footsteps of Walter Benjamin
by Michael D. Jackson It was late in the evening when i arrived, and the town was being buffeted by a stiff wind off the sea and squalls of rain. After checking into my hotel, I had dinner in the hotel restaurant and then turned in early, halyards slapping against aluminum masts in the harbor, and a lighthouse flashing in the darkness. My last thoughts before falling asleep were of a photograph I had seen that morning in a Danish newspaper of a listing wooden boat with splintered upper strakes being towed behind an Italian coast-guard cutter on whose cramped foredeck huddled 30 or 40 bewildered African asylum-seekers, and of a report in another paper of a proposal by several European governments to create "holding centers" in North Africa for these clandestine immigrants who every night risked their lives crossing the Mediterranean in un-seaworthy boats, hoping to find work and a livelihood in Europe.

How we work: Walter Benjamin, writer
In The Writer's Technique in Thirteen Theses , Benjamin advises: "a pedantic adherence to certain papers, pens, inks is beneficial [...] keep your notebook as strictly as the authorities keep their register of aliens [...] The more circumspectly you delay writing down an idea, the more maturely developed it will be on surrendering itself [...] Never stop writing because you have run out of ideas [...] Fill the lacunae of inspiration by tidily copying out what is already written" (IV - VIII).

History is photography: the afterimage of Walter Benjamin
Afterimage Sept-Oct, 1998 by Jeannene M. Przyblyski In a New York Times Book Review essay on Jay Parini's 1997 historical novel about the last days of Walter Benjamin, Benjamin's Crossing, the critic made annoyed reference to Benjamin's "leonine status in the eyes of many academics today" He complained that despite Benjamin's failure as both an academic and a features writer, his imperfect grasp of the relation between theory and praxis and his inability to finish much of anything, citations of the German philosopher's work have become virtually obligatory in trendy American academic books on cultural studies.(1)

In "Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen," his first dip into the green fields of memoir, McMurtry has applied those elegiac brush strokes to the canvas of his own life. The result is a lamentation not only for himself, as he wanders into his seventh decade, but for those like him: the storytellers, the griots, the troubadours of experience. "Because of when and where I grew up, on the Great Plains just as the herding tradition was beginning to lose its vitality," McMurtry writes, "I have been interested all my life in vanishing breeds." Never has this fascination of his been so evident. Whatever subject he touches upon, even in promiscuous passing memory, antiquarian bookselling, his own oeuvre seems destined to fade gloomily away, like taillights vanishing into a blackened flat horizon.

IX
My wing is poised to beat
but I would gladly return home
were I to stay to the end of days
I would still be this forlorn
Gershom Scholem, “Greetings from Angelus" [tr. Richard Sieburth]
There is a painting by Klee called Angelus Novus . It shows an angel who seems about to move away from something he stares at. His eyes are wide, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how the angel of history must look. His face is turned toward the past. Where a chain of events appears before us, he sees on single catastrophe, which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it at his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise and has got caught in his wings; it is so strong that the angel can no longer close them. This storm drives him irresistibly into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows toward the sky. What we call progress is this storm.

The Wit of the Staircase
From the French phrase 'esprit d'escalier,' literally, it means 'the wit of the staircase', and usually refers to the perfect witty response you think up after the conversation or argument is ended. "Esprit d'escalier," she replied. "Esprit d'escalier. The answer you cannot make, the pattern you cannot complete till aterwards it suddenly comes to you when it is too late."

In Memoriam
Worthy of Mention
  • Spoon: Girls Can Tell
    This is a great, understated album that merits repeated plays. Spoon have made a literate, rocking, breakthrough record that occupies a funny placethe songs are not unconventional, per se, yet they're somehow really special. Girls Can Tell displays the emotional resonance and big rock power of, say, Thin Lizzy and Mott the Hoople; the sonically referential, indie-rock smarts of a band like Versus; and amazing hooks that recall Colin Blunstone of the Zombies. Like Jennyanykind, Moviola, and the Lilys, this Austin, Texas, trio has chosen to work on perfecting their craft without paying much heed to mainstream or trends. In spite of (but mostly because of) wrenching breakup-centered lyrical material delivered in a very real, matter-of-fact way, Girls Can Tell is one of those life-affirming pop albums you know you'll return to in years to come.

OH WHAT A SLAUGHTER: Massacres in the American West: 1846-1890

THE COLONEL AND LITTLE MISSIE: Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, and the Beginnings of Superstardom in America
... THE LATE CHILD WALTER BENJAMIN AT THE DAIRY QUEEN: Reflections at Sixty and Beyond Larry McMurtry Fiction ISBN: 0684854961 An essay called "The Storyteller" by Walter Benjamin prompted Larry McMurtry to ponder the role of the oral storyteller in our modern world and in the lonely world of Texas his pioneer grandparents faced in the late 1800s. These ponderings, along with his thoughts on memory, writing, his grandparents and his parents, his upbringing, reading, book collecting, and the American West, give us a compelling look into the mind of one of America's more original writers. A storyteller himself, although not of the oral variety, McMurtry finds it fitting that his first foray into Benjamin's work took place at the local Dairy Queen:
