Description
Walter Benjamin's Radio Benjamin brings together his surviving radio broadcasts for the first time in English. This eclectic collection showcases the range of his thinking and enthusiasm for popular sensibilities, revealing him in a creative mode rather than critical one. The transcripts include his celebrated "Enlightenment for Children" youth programs, plays, readings, book reviews, and fiction, which flesh out ideas discussed in his essays. Benjamin's passion and acuity shine through as he explores topics such as getting a raise and the history of natural disasters, making this work accessible to a wide audience. This collection offers a unique glimpse into the sophisticated thinking of one of the twentieth century's most respected thinkers, channelled into radio broadcasts that are both delightful and incisive.
