Mad Maturity --Notes --Bibliography --IndexConstellation is the first extended exploration of the relationship between Walter Benjamin, the Weimar-era revolutionary cultural critic, and the radical philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The affinity between these noncontemporaneous thinkers serves as a limit case manifesting the precariousness and potentials of cultural transmission in a disillusioned present. In five chapters, Constellation presents the changing figure of Nietzsche as Benjamin encountered him: an inspiration to his student activism, an authority for his skeptical philology, a manifestation of his philosophical nihilism, a companion in his political exile, and ultimately a subversive collaborator in his efforts to think beyond the hopeless temporality—new and always the same—of the present moment in history.LITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & TheorybisacshBenjamin.Nietzsche.exile.nihilism.philology.revolution.student activism.temporality.tragedy.LITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory.193McFarland James(Philip James)1498862MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786194803321Constellation3724550UNINA
