A Translation -- $tNotes -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tIndex 330 $aIn this book, Weber, a leading theorist on literature and media, reveals a new and productive aspect of Benjamin's thought by focusing the critical suffix "-ability" that Benjamin so tellingly deploys in his work. The result is an illuminating perspective on Benjamin's thought by way of his language - and one of the most penetrating and comprehensive accounts of Benjamin's work ever written. 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / Aesthetics$2bisacsh 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / Aesthetics. 676 $a193 700 $aWeber$b Samuel$f1940-$01517 701 2$aBenjamin$b Walter$f1892-1940.$011365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778162003321 996 $aBenjamin's -abilities$93693273 997 $aUNINA
