Benjamin Now : Critical Encounters with the Arcades Project

The Arcades Project is the unfinished, final work of influential cultural theorist, critic, and historian, Walter Benjamin. Until 1999, this huge, unruly manuscript, which provides a more complete picture of the diversity of Benjamin's work than formerly available, had not been fully translated into English. Benjamin Now is a collection of essays which focuses on the English-language translation of The Arcades Project.
