A Visual Journey in The Arcades
Visual Journey
This essay outlines the longlasting legacy of Benjamin’s writings in the way we think of city life. Since Benjamin’s methods are somewhat unconventional, our first objective will be to highlight the inherent “kaleidoscopic” dimension of his theorie through the notion of “dialectical image”. According to this principle, we will see how Benjamin’s teaching on topics as varied as private and public lifes, urbanisation, photography or rebellions have challenged the ways in which the city has been commented on and represented.
