| 요약 | An illuminated tour of Walter Benjamin's ideas; a graphic translation; an encyclopedia of fragments. Walter Benjamin was a man of letters, an art critic, an essayist, a translator, a philosopher, a collector, and an urban flńeur. In his writings, he ambles, samples, and explores. With Walter Benjamin Reimagined , Frances Cannon offers a visual and literary response to Benjamin's work. With detailed and dreamlike pen-and-ink drawings and hand-lettered text, Cannon gives readers an illuminated tour of Walter Benjamin's thoughts -- a graphic translation, an encyclopedia of fragments. Cannon has not created a guide to Benjamin's greatest ideas -- this is not an illustrated Walter Benjamin cheat sheet -- but rather a beautifully rendered work of graphic literature. Cannon doesn't plod through thickets of minutiae; she strolls -- a flneuse herself -- using Benjamin's words and her own drawings to construct a creative topography of Benjamin's writing. Phrases from "Unpacking My Library," for example, are accompanied by images of flying papers, stray books, stacked books -- books "not yet touched by the mild boredom of order" -- and a bearded mage. Cannon takes the reader through different periods of Benjamin's writing: "Artifacts of Youth," nostalgic musings on his childhood; "Fragments of a Critical Eye," early writings, political observations, and cultural criticism; "Athenaeum of Imagination," meditations on philosophy and psychology; "A Stroll through the Arcades," Benjamin's unfinished magnum opus; and "A Collection of Dreams and Stories," experimental and fantastical writings. With drawings and text, Cannon offers a phantasmagorical tribute to Benjamin's wandering eye. |
