Benjamin was especially concerned with the ability of new technologies--notably film, sound recording, and photography--to reproduce works of art in great number. Benjamin could not have foreseen the explosion of imagery and media that has occurred during the past fifty years. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDoes Benjamin's famous essay still speak to this new situation? That is the question posed by the editors of this book to a wide range of leading scholars and thinkers across a spectrum of disciplines in the humanities. The essays gathered here do not hazard a univocal reply to that question; rather they offer a rich, wide-ranging critique of Benjamin's position that refracts and reflects contemporary thinking about the ethical, political, and aesthetic implications of life in the digital age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804744351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804744355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.04w x 1.00d","brand":"Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120256479487,"sku":"9780804744355","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cb1d7d2-c4e4-4343-88ee-c382522c0531.jpg?v=1687413334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mapping-benjamin-hans-ulrich-gumbrecht-9780804744355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
