Benjamin's famous "Work of Art" essay sets out his boldest thoughts - on media and on culture in general - in their most realized form, while retaining an edge that gets under the skin of everyone who reads it. In this essay the visual arts of the machine age morph into literature and theory and then back again to images, gestures, and thought.This essay, however, is only the beginning of a vast collection of writings that the editors have assembled to demonstrate what was revolutionary about Benjamin's explorations on media. Long before Marshall McLuhan, Benjamin saw that the way a bullet rips into its victim is exactly the way a movie or pop song lodges in the soul.This book contains the second, and most daring, of the four versions of the "Work of Art" essay - the one that addresses the utopian developments of the modern media. The collection tracks Benjamin's observations on the media as they are revealed in essays on the production and reception of art; on film, radio, and photography; and on the modern transformations of literature and painting. The volume contains some of Benjamin's best-known work alongside fascinating, little-known essays - some appearing for the first time in English. In the context of his passionate engagement with questions of aesthetics, the scope of Benjamin's media theory can be fully appreciated.

读后感

（仅个人理解，难免有失偏颇，望指正） 一、从自然界的“光韵”到艺术作品的“膜拜” 在前言中，本雅明不仅交代了文章写作的时代背景，还透露了他的写作目的：一方面是为了研究在资本主义条件下艺术的新变化；另一方面是为了寻找现代复制技术条件下艺术服务无产阶级革命的理由...  

若是打分的话，毫无疑问，本雅明可以得5分 翻译可以得2分，翻译的比较差，不算最差 出版社就比较猪头了，不知道编辑是做什么呢，错别字，标点符号，真的错的离谱，damn。 出版总署的人整天扫黄打非，稍微拿出来的时间整顿下出版社，也不需要每年拉那么多书去造纸厂  

现代都市中，人人都有机会欣赏到电影的放映，但是只有少部分人选择去剧场观看话剧。电影作为机械复制时代最伟大的艺术作品，它的存在遍及我们的视野，我们不必亲临电影拍摄现场，就可以通过电影院、电视、网络观看电影，而话剧则不同，走进剧场中，除了能看到“活的”演员...  

用户评价

研究艺术史，电影和媒介研究的盆友，想看Benjamin在这些领域的文章，买了这一本几乎就够了，翻译啥的也是没话说。当然也不排除铁粉要去买Arcades Project和全集。

科技发展和艺术发展的关系，同时对科学价值和艺术价值的的透彻分析，八十年后的今天依旧是真知灼见

淡化的灵晕，隐退的cult。解答了一部分我对摄影如何是艺术的困惑。

大爱这个封面，以及本雅明真是喜欢比自己大点的御姐啊。。。
