| Sumario: | This article proposes an analysis of Walter Benjamin from his supposedly autobiographical writings Berlin Childhood: 1900 and Berlin Chronicle from a figure which Freud puts to us: that of the archaeologist, or, according to psychoanalysis, the one who digs out the memories. Thus, this archeologist of the moment presents himself by and in the dis-figuration of a language that already appears less as a means of transmitting communication than as a space where his dreams and daydreams are revealed. Finally, the power of the Benjamin Denkbilder is shown as a symptom of a modernity without a north and as a falsepromise of the history of rationality and progress. |
