具体描述

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.

本雅明亲身经历了艺术在技术革命中所发生的裂变，并成为了机械复制艺术时代最早的思考者，尽管他的思维仍会停留在浪漫派思想家惯有的套路中即对传统艺术的膜拜之中，但他仍然保持了对机械复制艺术品的客观评价。 本雅明在《机械复制时代的艺术品》一书中指出机械复制艺术的出现...  

根据第二稿进行整理，故没有标题，序号按原著先后顺序： 1.原作的即时即地性组成了它的原真性：技术复制能把原作的摹本带到原作本身无法达到的境界。比如唱片可以让人随时随地欣赏，破坏了艺术只能在一个地方一个时间呈现的特殊性。 2.在对艺术作品的机械复制时代，凋谢的东西...

best translation so far. esp the Reproducibility essay.

This book manifests Benjamin's great great great aesthetic talent, and of course his deep sense of historical materialism, which assuredly derives from our great great great spiritual leader: Karl Marx.
