In this book, Georges Didi-Huberman explores the interaction of politics and aesthetics in these creations, explaining how they became the means for Brecht, a wandering poet in exile, to "take a position" about the Nazi war in Europe. Illustrated with pages from the Arbeitsjournal and War Primer and contextual images including Raoul Hausmann's poem-posters and Walter Benjamin's drawings, The Eye of History offers a new view of important but little-known works by Brecht.Didi-Huberman shows that Brecht took positions without taking sides; he used these montages to challenge the viewpoints of the press and propose other readings, to offer a stylistic and political response to the inescapable visibility of historical events enabled by the photographic medium. Brecht's montages disrupt and scrutinize this visibility by juxtaposing representations of war found in magazines with his own epigrams -- a "documentary lyricism" that dismounts and remounts modern history. The montages created meaningful disorder, exposing the truth by disorganizing -- a process Didi-Huberman calls a "dialectic of the monteur." These works are examples of "the eyes of history" -- when seeing may simultaneously deepen and critique historical knowledge. The montages Didi-Huberman argues, are Brecht's most Benjaminian works." -- publisher's website. 546 $a Translated from the French. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Brecht, Bertolt, $d 1898-1956. $t Arbeitsjournal. $l English. 600 10 $a Brecht, Bertolt, $d 1898-1956. $t Kriegsfibel. $l English. 600 10 $a Brecht, Bertolt, $d 1898-1956 $x Notebooks, sketchbooks, etc. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Poetry. 700 1 $a Lillis, Shane B. $q (Shane Brendan), $e translator. 830 0 $a RIC books ; $v 2. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116043406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5906F5E580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
