Description:

The subject of these eleven essays is Walter Benjamin as theorist. It considers his work on thinking in images or UBilddnken, and the relation of this to "the first material of human existence ... the body" is taken as constituting the specificity of his philosophy.

Synopsis:

The last decade has seen a new wave of interest in philosophical and theoretical circles in the writings of Walter Benjamin. In Body-and Image-Space Sigrid Weigel, one of Germany's leading feminist theorists and a renowned commentator on the work of Walter Benjamin, argues that the reception of his work has so far overlooked a crucial aspect of his thought - his use of images. Weigel shows that it is precisely his practice of thinking in images that holds the key to understanding the full complexity, richness and topicality of Benjamin's theory.
