| description | Walter Benjamin is very well recognized as an art critic. His way of thinking was brilliantly described by Michael Lowy as”very distant from all other current ideas and as the crossing of two roads”. Those two roads are: the dialectical materialism with a lot of influence of Bertolt Brecht and the Jewish messianism influenced by his great friend Gershom Sholem.Benjamin was torn away from the social forces that surrounded him and this is why he was considered a Jew between the Germans and a German among the Jews, a Communist between the Zionists and a Zionist among the Communists. This allowed him to hold a constant critical position, where art becomes the most important issue among the workers conscience, being the artistic technical reproduction as film and photography, the breaking of the aura of the unique art product, the one that characterized fascist art for the masses. This massive reproduction of art revolves sensations and moves the people towards personal redemption (tikun) as well as to social redemption (social revolution).This processwould be equivalent to the messianic times, the arrival of the messiah, the moment of return to the lost paradise, a peaceful place where the human being will return to his unique condition, the image of the creator, where there are neither oppressors nor oppressed people. |

His way of thinking was brilliantly described by Michael Lowy as”very distant from all other current ideas and as the crossing of two roads”. Those two roads are: the dialectical materialism with a lot of influence of Bertolt Brecht and the Jewish messianism influenced by his great friend Gershom Sholem.Benjamin was torn away from the social forces that surrounded him and this is why he was considered a Jew between the Germans and a German among the Jews, a Communist between the Zionists and a Zionist among the Communists.

Walter Benjamin es reconocido por sus aportes en la crítica del arte, su pensamiento es brillantemente descrito por Michael Lowy como “distante de todas las corrientes y en el cruce de dos caminos”. Estos dos caminos son: el materialismo dialéctico donde es influenciado por Bertolt Brecht y el mesianismo judío, inculcado por su otro gran amigo Gershom Sholem. El desarraigo de Benjamin de las fuerzas sociales que lo rodean hace que sea considerado un judío entre los alemanes, un alemán entre los judíos, un comunista entre los sionistas y un sionista entre los comunistas. Esto le permite mantener una actitud crítica constante, donde el arte asume un papel preponderante en la toma de conciencia por parte del proletariado y donde la reproductividad técnica hace romper el aura del arte irrepetible (aquel hecho para la admiración de las masas que caracteriza al arte fascista), revoluciona las sensacionesy lleva a la redención tanto personal (tikun) como social (revolución). Este proceso equivaldría a la llegada del Mesías (o mejor: de los tiempos mesiánicos) el cual sería el momento del “retorno” al paraíso perdido, donde reina la paz y el ser humano regresa a su condición de único (imagen del creador), donde no hay opresores ni oprimidos.
