Reviews
"""This volume of thirteen essays presents reevaluations of Walter Benjamin's short but influential essay, ""The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.""... Benjamin's influence remains strong, particularly within the disciplines of philosophy, history, aesthetics, and cultural theory. The strength of this book is that it gives a sense of the direction of current Benjamin scholarship from within those disciplines, expressed in terms that5 are accessible to the general academic reader.""- Frances Robertson, Technology and Culture, July 2006, Vol. 47 ""The most synoptic collection to date on Benjamin's important essay, this volume will serve as an excellent primer for those first encountering Benjamin's major essay and a fine summary and reconsideration of the essay for those familiar with it. Summing up: Highly recommended."" - Choice * Choice *"
