Allegory of the moderne: fashion arcades. On several motifs of Benjamin's Baudelaire

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2007

Abstract

On the basis of an analysis of Benjamin's metaphysics of fashion, the text attempts to present an unusual view of the modernist literature, in which clothing serves not only as the figure for human existence in history, but also as a self-referential metaphor for writing.
