Benjamin's essay is at once an immensely attractive work for top-flight theorists of translation and comparative literature and a frustratingly cryptic work that cries out for commentary. Almost every one of the claims he makes in it seems wildly counterintuitive, because he articulates none of the background support that would help readers place it in larger literary-historical contexts: Jewish mystical traditions from Philo Judaeus's Logos-based Neoplatonism to 13th-century Lurianic Kabbalah; Romantic and post-Romantic esotericisms from Novalis and the Schlegels to HoÂlderlin and Goethe; modernist avant-garde foreclosures on "the public" and generally the communicative contexts of literature. The book is divided into 78 passages, one to a few sentences in length. Each of the passages becomes its own commentarial unit, consisting of a Benjaminian interlinear box, a paraphrase, a commentary, and a list of other commentators who have engaged the specific passage in question. Because the passages cover the entire text of the essay in sequence, reading straight through the book provides the reader with an augmented experience of reading the essay. Robinson's commentary is key reading for scholars and postgraduate students of translation, comparative literature, and critical theory"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Benjamin, Walter, $d 1892-1940. $t Aufgabe des UÂbersetzers. 650 0 $a Translating and interpreting $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Language and languages $x Philosophy. 650 6 $a Langage et langues $x Philosophie. 650 7 $a Language and languages $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992193 650 7 $a Translating and interpreting $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01154805 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781000589719 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0645EF32C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
