Between Crisis and Critique: A Consideration About Montage Starting from Walter Benjamin
Abstract
Considering the etymological bond that links Crisis and Critique and reflecting on some important fragments of Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project, the paper intends to propose a consideration about montage, conceived both as an epistemic principle and as an hermeneutic method aimed at the implementation of a cognitive practice to be understood in experimental terms, based on the heuristic quality of images and on the mobilization of heterogeneous times and iconic materials.
