«L'opera d'arte nell'epoca della sua riproducibilità tecnica» is Walter Benjamin's essay, published by Einaudi (161 pages, in Italian).
Walter Benjamin analyzes how technical reproduction transforms the perception of art: the work loses its «aura» of originality and becomes a reproducible object, with new political and social implications. Against traditional art, film and photography modify the relationship between the work, the public and mass culture.
Originally published in 1966, the essay is part of the ET Saggi series and includes a text by Massimo Cacciari.
For readers interested in the philosophy of art, aesthetics and cultural theory.
Walter Bendix Schönflies Benjamin was a German philosopher, cultural critic, media theorist, and essayist. An eclectic thinker who combined elements of German idealism, Jewish mysticism, Western Marxism, and post-Kantianism, he made contributions to the philosophy of history, metaphysics, historical materialism, criticism, and aesthetics, and had an oblique but overwhelmingly influential impact on the resurrection of the Kabbalah by virtue of his life-long epistolary relationship with Gershom Scholem.
