Workshop on Walter Benjamin’s “theory of fascism”
The aim of this workshop is to schematize what we might call Walter Benjamin’s “theory of fascism.” The name “Walter Benjamin” may not necessarily call to mind an explicit theorization of fascism. While Benjamin is well-loved for his aesthetic theory, his critique of historical and technical “progress,” and his theorization of juridical violence, none of these necessarily indicate a unifying or even detailed theory of fascism such as we find in the work of his contemporaries, such…
