Description

Walter Benjamin was praised as the “unrivaled master” (Adorno) of the essay, but scholars have largely neglected closer definition of the genre in which Benjamin wrote. Scheibenberger develops criteria that permit a description of Benjamin’s essayistic writings as a form of reflexivity, in which aesthetic, epistemological, media-theoretical, and ethical-political perspectives intersect.
