摘要

瓦尔特·本雅明方法的一个方面无疑可以被描述为有远见的，那就是他赋予电影在艺术中的高度价值。今天，以时间为基础的视听媒体被视为艺术系统中不可或缺的、极其重要的一部分，但当本雅明的文章《技术可复制时代的艺术作品》在20世纪60年代被热情地重新发现时，情况绝非如此。第一代视频艺术家必须为获得认可而奋斗，本杰明的作品符合他们的目标。本文从媒体艺术和本雅明形象之间的联系出发，考察本雅明对艺术和媒体的反思，并对其进行批判性的审视，同时试图使其对我们理解当代状况具有建设性。

More Than an Old Love Affair: Media Art and Walter Benjamin

One aspect of Walter Benjamin’s approach that can undoubtedly be described as visionary is the high value he accorded film among the arts. Today time-based, audiovisual media is viewed as an integral and extraordinarily important part of the art system, but when Benjamin’s essay “The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility” was enthusiastically rediscovered in the 1960s, this was by no means the case. Video artists of the first generation had to fight for recognition, and Benjamin’s writings matched their goals. This essay gets to the basis of the connection between media art and the figure of Walter Benjamin, examining his art- and media-related reflections, subjecting them to a critical examination, and at the same time attempting to make them productive for our understanding of contemporary conditions.

期刊介绍： Widely considered the top journal in its field, New German Critique is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first-century German studies and publishes on a wide array of subjects, including literature, film, and media; literary theory and cultural studies; Holocaust studies; art and architecture; political and social theory; and philosophy. Established in the early 1970s, the journal has played a significant role in introducing U.S. readers to Frankfurt School thinkers and remains an important forum for debate in the humanities.
