More about the book
Modernity is explored as a complex interplay of continuity and interruption, challenging traditional views that see it solely as a break from the past. Through an analysis of Walter Benjamin's writings on interruption, fashion, and Art Nouveau, Andrew Benjamin delves into the significance of style in relation to temporality and spatiality. The book extends this exploration to contemporary issues such as cosmopolitanism and immigration, offering a nuanced understanding of Benjamin's concepts and their implications for the politics of identity and difference.
