Beschreibung
This is a lucid study of Walter Benjamin's lifelong fascination with the city and forms of metropolitan experience, highlighting the relevance of Benjamin's work to our contemporary understanding of modernity.
Rezensionen
"This is a highly stimulating contribution to our understanding of Benjamin's work on the city. It is one which is written with a commendable clarity that makes Benjamin's often complex investigations accessible to students without losing the rich textual diversity of Benjamin's own presentation of the city's labyrinths."
-- Professor David Frisby, Glasgow University
(Building Design)
"Walter Benjamin and his work on the metropolis is the topic of a new study by Graeme Gilloch, a study so rigorous in its scholarship and penetrating in its observations that it rises above the recent plethora of lesser works on Benjamin. This elegant study now displaces Susan Buck-Morss's Dialectics of Seeing as the most authoritative work on Benjamin and the city. Gilloch situates Benjamin's discussion of the city within his overall theoretical outlook, evocatively highlighting the surrealist, Marxist and Freudian impulses in Benjamin. The result is as convincing as it is charming."

(Urban
Studies)
"[A] close and sensitive reading of Benjamin ... Since Gilloch's book is clearly and lucidly written, it can be recommended for teaching for students, although it is also an interesting and indeed valuable commentary in its own right."

(Environment and Planning)
"Graeme Gilloch's excellent book now offers a comprehensive overview of Benjamin's urban preoccupations, which will be essential reading for anyone seeking a detailed account of Benjamin's complex relationship with the city. The whole book is an exemplary study and can be thoroughly recommended ... probably the most accessible recent book on Benjamin's thought available to the advanced undergraduate student. This is a book of exemplary scholarship which will become a central resource for advancing our understanding both of Benjamin's work and urban theory in future years."

(The Journal of Design History)
"Remarkable and scholarly book, a work of almost overwhelming erudition and full of incisive observations ... perceptive interpretation ... elegant and highly readable. An excellent example of concise writing which, given the often contradictory nature of Benjamin's work, must have been a major task. The ease with which Gilloch disentangles Benjamin's thought processes leads one to suspect a superficiality of approach but this is far from the case. Gilloch's masterful analysis now displaces Susan Buck-Morss's book as the definitive work on Benjamin and the city. Benjamin's message is as relevant today as when it was written, providing the historian, design or otherwise, with the most incisive commentrary on the experience of modernity yet to be written."

(Urban History)
"Urban historians will be indebted to Gilloch for his labours. What he has done ... is to make one of the classic texts on the modern city more accessible to those not steeped in the Benjamin oeuvre."
