والتر بنیامین یا به سوی نقدی انقلابی فارسی 1401

This book, which consists of two parts, presents a set of Benjamin's main concepts such as allegory, aura, history, and tradition, etc. and tries to compare Benjamin's conceptual approach to phenomena such as Baroque with similar gestures of those such as T. S. Eliot and F. R. Lewis and so on. Eagleton, in the first part, from the point of view of Lacan and Derrida highlights aspects of Benjamin's work that were somewhat neglected and obscure before and shines a light on them from this particular point of view. In the second part, he puts Benjamin's concepts in a creative way in the background of the theories and disputes in the field of literary criticism and tries to get an outline of revolutionary criticism from all these topics. Eagleton writes: I have written this book... so that at the same time our hands reach Benjamin before the enemies.
