Benjamin was especially concerned with the ability of new technologiesnotably film, sound recording, and photographyto reproduce works of art in great number. Benjamin could not have foreseen the explosion of imagery and media that has occurred during the past fifty years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoes Benjamin's famous essay still speak to this new situation? That is the question posed by the editors of this book to a wide range of leading scholars and thinkers across a spectrum of disciplines in the humanities. The essays gathered here do not hazard a univocal reply to that question; rather they offer a rich, wide-ranging critique of Benjamin's position that refracts and reflects contemporary thinking about the ethical, political, and aesthetic implications of life in the digital age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mapping Benjamin not only distinguishes itself in format, scope, and tone from the mass of Benjamin books published each year, it provides an up-to-date snapshot of the humanities. This lucidly written book uses Benjamin to chart the parameters of a force field of contemporary intellectual efforts, across disciplines and other divides.\" -Eva Geulen,New York University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tBAECKER  \t\t\t\t\tDIRK  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tBOLZ  \t\t\t\t\tNORBERT  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tSIEGERT  \t\t\t\t\tBERNHARD  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tBARCK  \t\t\t\t\tKARLHEINZ  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tGILGEN  \t\t\t\t\tPETER  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tSHIFF  \t\t\t\t\tRICHARD  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tMOSER  \t\t\t\t\tWALTER  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tSCHMIDT  \t\t\t\t\tSIEGFRIED J.  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tHENNION  \t\t\t\t\tANTOINE  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tLATOUR  \t\t\t\t\tBRUNO  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tLINK  \t\t\t\t\tJURGEN  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tCHARTIER  \t\t\t\t\tROGER  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tLINK-HEER  \t\t\t\t\tURSULA  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tWATERS  \t\t\t\t\tLINDSAY  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tZUMTHOR  \t\t\t\t\tPAUL  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tASSMANN  \t\t\t\t\tALEIDA  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tASSMANN  \t\t\t\t\tJAN  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tHULLOT-KENTOR  \t\t\t\t\tROBERT  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tBEHNKE  \t\t\t\t\tKERSTIN  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tWEIMAR  \t\t\t\t\tKLAUS  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tRITTER  \t\t\t\t\tHENNING  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tWENZEL  \t\t\t\t\tHORST  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tLEWIS  \t\t\t\t\tPERICLES  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tWERBER  \t\t\t\t\tNIELS  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tDE CASTRO ROCHA  \t\t\t\t\tJOAO CEZAR  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tNICHOLS  \t\t\t\t\tSTEPHEN G.  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tNEVILLE  \t\t\t\t\tBRIAN  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tREADINGS  \t\t\t\t\tBILL  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tFEINSTEIN  \t\t\t\t\tJOSHUA  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t  \t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tMENOCAL  \t\t\t\t\tMARIA ROSA  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tSARLO  \t\t\t\t\tBEATRIZ  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tHARRISON  \t\t\t\t\tROBERT P.  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t  \t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t  \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\tBANN  \t\t\t\t\tSTEPHEN","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405550657879,"sku":"9780804744362","price":25.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804744362.jpg?v=1730492799","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mapping-benjamin-9780804744362","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
