Between Crisis and Critique: A Consideration About Montage Starting from Walter Benjamin
- Marco Ortenzi - Università degli Studi di Palermo, Italia - email
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.
