One of the most important works of cultural theory ever written, Walter Benjamin's groundbreaking essay explores how the age of mass media means audiences can listen to or see a work of art repeatedly – and what the troubling social and political implications of this are.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

在书店无意看到,因为封面很奇异而买来。只读了第一篇,没读懂第13节。印象深刻的部分有“aura”的观点、把画家和摄影师类比为magician和surgeon、最后的aestheticization of political life。
评分最有名的关于aura的概念我倒觉得一般(毕竟时代大不一样了),比较喜欢的是他提艺术家希望观众的concentration和实际上的distraction的概念,为此类比了各种艺术形式的时间性和建筑的相对永久性,可惜只在最后一章里提了一下没有深入
评分独一性构造原创性。灵光在批量生产中消逝,艺术品欣赏价值被泛化,但人们依旧渴望接近原作,在卢浮宫的人山人海里远远看一眼蒙娜丽莎,说明对灵光的追求确实保存在人类性格里。除了aura这个著名概念,还提到电影如何是一种虚假的赋权,是一种distraction:特写和剪辑是一种无形的强权引导,充满主观性又伪装客观。和巴赞的《电影是什么》一起读很有意思,同样在世界大战导致现代性危机的时代,巴赞从本体论的角度来说电影本质上比其他艺术更贴近客观和现实主义,本雅明从更偏政治和社会的角度担心电影有可能变成法西斯主义的帮凶。这本的封面真是又贴切又可爱。
评分What shrinks in an age where the work of art can be reproduced by technological means is its aura.
评分Films do have the aura, and it’s just diminishing. “Spectators are examiners, but absent-minded”, 一针见血的点评。
