These are ways through which the author wrote about European cities, where he lived or by which he passed, in his wanderings, journeys or exiles. Thus, the three urban operators identified in his work, the “fragment”, the “flâneur” and the “memory”, are analyzed in the first chapters of this dissertation, through the examination of benjaminians’ texts that has the city as a theme. I argue these operators may serve as epistemological tools to the current studies in the field of urban anthropology, so that in the end of this work, I try to articulate my first analysis with a very recent anthropological literature, in order to demonstrate the potentiality of Walter Benjamin`s work to new reflexions on the ethnographic practice in the big metropolis of the twenty first century / Nesta dissertação analiso, no escopo da obra benjaminiana, o que chamo de operadores urbanos. Estes configuram meios pelos quais Walter Benjamin escreveu sobre cidades europeias, nas quais morou, ou pelas quais passou em suas andanças, viagens e exílios. Dessa maneira, os três operadores urbanos identificados em sua obra, o “fragmento”, o “flâneur” e a “memória”, são analisados nos primeiros capítulos desta dissertação, por meio do exame de textos benjaminianos que versam sobre a temática da cidade. Argumento que esses operadores podem servir de ferramentas epistemológicas para o campo dos atuais estudos da antropologia urbana e, assim, ao final do trabalho, procuro articular minhas primeiras análises com uma literatura antropológica bastante recente, a fim de demonstrar a potencialidade da produção intelectual de Walter Benjamin para novas reflexões sobre a prática etnográfica na grande metrópole do século XXI

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Hispánica. / En el presente trabajo, utilizaré la figura del flâneur que Walter Benjamin da a luz basándose en la figura de Charles Baudelaire. A partir de esta definición, tomaré los puntos más importantes de dicho concepto para posteriormente poder confrontar el artículo del profesor Cristián Cisternas y su teoría del “otro flâneur” presente en Borges, reflexión aparecida recientemente, a propósito de un proyecto Fondecyt y publicada posteriormente por la Revista Chilena de Literatura. Tal confrontación, no pretende refutar los postulados del profesor Cisternas a propósito de un “otro flâneur”, sino re-pensar las implicancias del concepto de flâneur, incluso más allá de las connotaciones teóricas que adquirió la palabra francesa desde la aplicación que Walter Benjamin sugirió para Baudelaire. En este sentido, el informe que sigue, hace una revisión tanto de las poéticas como de los espacios en las que se insertaron, de Jorge Luis Borges y Charles Baudelaire, en Fervor de Buenos Aires y Las flores del mal, respectivamente. Se trata de recorrer los espacio-tiempos de la modernidad sintomatizados en las obras de estos dos creadores y las similitudes, tanto como las diferencias, que se pueden rastrear en ambos.

Du déclin de la religiosité cléricale, associé à la période historique de la Renaissance et de la modernité, on voit naître un Occident industriel, raisonnable, émancipé. Arrive subséquemment le 20e siècle avec deux guerres menées par la technique, raisonnables. La raison éclairée semble avoir échoué à sa promesse d'émancipation. Des philosophes s'interrogent sur le problème et tentent de voir de quelles façons le logos a pu mener et même justifier ces moments inédits de l'histoire. Ils ouvrent les voies d'une possible reconstruction d'« humanité ». Ce mémoire montre que leurs discours, plus particulièrement ceux d'Emmanuel Levinas et de Walter Benjamin (tous deux juifs et contemporains des deux Guerres mondiales), sont teintés d'une certaine religiosité et d'un rapport avec une « transcendance ». Celle-ci est ancrée dans l'expérience, notamment dans l'éthique et le langage. Les voies de la recomposition philosophique face à « l'échec des Lumières » passent-elles nécessairement par une réintroduction du religieux? Le dialogue culturel est-il religieux en lui-même? Nous offrons des pistes de réponse à ces questions en réfléchissant sur la place du judaïsme dans notre culture, prenant appui pour ce faire sur les écrits de Shmuel Trigano. Les œuvres de Levinas et de Benjamin indiquent ainsi qu'au cœur d'une philosophie rationnelle, la transcendance ne devient plus condition extérieure, irrationnelle, mais bien cœur et nécessité - hors-catégorie peut-on dire - d'un penser logique. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Walter Benjamin, Emmanuel Levinas, judaïsme, transcendance, rationalité, éthique, épistémologie, crise culturelle, philosophie, langage.

This thesis investigates the transatlantic manifestation of the debate regarding the aesthetics of commitment in the modernist literary and theatrical tradition. Within the debate theatre occupies a privileged position since (because of its two-fold roles both as theory and performance) it allows a critique both of performative conventions and methods and also a dialectical consideration of the audience’s socio-political consciousness. The debate, often referred to as form versus content – schematically re-written as ‘autonomy’ versus ‘commitment’ – and its transatlantic evaluation are central to modernist aesthetics, as they bring into question the established modes of perceiving and discussing the issue. A parallel close reading will reveal the closely related development of the European and the American traditions and evaluate their critical strengths and shortcomings. The first part of the thesis discusses the positions of Georg Lukács and Bertolt Brecht, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin in tandem with those of the New York Intellectuals, especially as expressed in the latters’ writings in the Partisan Review. The second part extends this transatlantic dialogue through a consideration of the theatrical works of the New York Living Newspaper unit of the Federal Theatre Project (FTP) in the USA and Bertolt Brecht’s vision of and relationship with ‘Americana’ as revealed through such plays as In the Jungle of Cities, Man Equals Man, St Joan of the Stockyards and the 1947 version of Galileo. The Federal Theatre and Brecht’s respective dramaturgies demonstrate differences in the articulation and application of the aesthetics of commitment and politics of engagement. A close reading of four plays by the Living Newspaper unit will not only reveal the influence of the Russian Blue Blouse groups and Meyerhold’s theatrical experimentations, but also how the unit’s playwrights and administration attempted to re-write this aesthetic. Hallie Flanagan (the director of FTP), recognising the limitations of Broadway and having sensed the audience’s need for a new kind of theatre, realised early on the importance of ‘translating’ the European aesthetics of commitment to conform with the American New Deal discourse. Brecht’s plays manifest not only the differences with respect to the European aesthetics of commitment, but also its highly complicated development. His American experiences revealed that the failings of the FTP’s attempt to establish a viable national theatre with a social agenda prohibited a more powerfully theatrical connection (theoretical and performative) between the two traditions. Both the European and the American modernist aesthetics are informed by Marxist cultural and literary theory, particularly by the writings centred on the political efficacy of a work of art with respect to its reception and its modes of production. The politico-aesthetic encounter of the Marxist tradition of engagement with a commitment to aesthetic formalism (often associated with the autonomy position) led to a confrontational and polemical rather than dialectical argumentation. However, this thesis maintains that the arguments were not simply articulated by theorists at opposing ends of the political spectrum. At the same time, Brecht and the Federal Theatre Project’s interest in the advancements of the European avant-garde and fascination with the notion of ‘Americana’ demonstrate the necessity to examine the issue of commitment in a more dialectical manner. While their notion of the aesthetics of commitment differed, this thesis argues for the necessity, not only of revisiting some of the fundamental premises regarding the role and function of this aesthetics in modernist political theatre, but also of reading the two traditions in conjunction.

For in such a way, the study was divided in two chapters: Biography and correspondences - a life in the transit of the method and Infancy and politics – the method in Infancy in Berlin for 1900 return. In the first chapter the reader offers itself to it more discussable aspects so that if he can reach, in the last chapter a detailed dialogue with the fundamental workmanship - Infancy in Berlin for 1900 return – here worked. The reconstitution of the method that Benjamin thinks to the philosophy is reconstituted through a cumulative work, that is, to each item of the work we bring new elements that until then they had not been developed, thus looking for, to offer an organization that it goes and it comes back to the points to each moment, but makes to gain body to the question proposal. Therefore, one worked in the first chapter with prompt elements of the life of Benjamin, relating to the conception of method, the two inheritances that had influenced the thinker - Judaism and historical materialism and the reconstitution of the theory of the knowledge in Benjamin, detailing its dialogue with Descartes. No longer according to chapter, the method is retaken from the infancy idea that the thinker offers in five assays written between 1924 the 1928. These assays had directly reverberated in the understanding of a conceived method as shunting line, having the participation key of the concept of repetition in Freud and Nietzsche and the practical unfolding of the accomplishment of the workmanship studies. It is in this chain of parts that the classic story the wild Swans gains body and starts to produce a peculiar direction in this work: the fusing this story will represent the metaphoric materialization of Benjamin from the Eliza personage. / A presente dissertação constitui-se num estudo sobre a concepção de método para o pensador Walter Benjamin. Para tanto, o estudo foi dividido em dois capítulos: Biografia e correspondências – uma vida no trânsito do método e Infância e política – o método em Infância em Berlim por volta de 1900. No primeiro capítulo se oferece ao leitor aspectos argumentativos para que se possa atingir, no último capítulo, um diálogo mais detalhado com a obra basilar – Infância em Berlim por volta de 1900 – aqui trabalhada. A reconstituição do método que Benjamin pensa à filosofia é reconstituída através de uma dissertação cumulativa, isto é, a cada item do trabalho trazemos novos elementos que até então não haviam sido desenvolvidos, procurando assim, oferecer uma organização que vai e volta a pontos a cada momento, mas faz ganhar corpo à questão proposta. Por isso, trabalhou-se no primeiro capítulo com elementos pontuais da vida de Benjamin, relacionando à concepção de método, as duas heranças que influenciaram o pensador – judaísmo e materialismo histórico e a reconstituição da teoria do conhecimento em Benjamin, detalhando seu diálogo com Descartes. Já no segundo capítulo, o método é retomado a partir da idéia de infância que o pensador oferece em cinco ensaios escritos entre 1924 a 1928. Estes ensaios repercutiram, diretamente, na compreensão de um método concebido como desvio, tendo a participação chave do conceito de repetição em Freud e Nietzsche e o desdobramento prático da realização da obra estuda. É nessa cadeia de peças que o conto clássico Os Cisnes selvagens ganha corpo e passa a produzir um sentido peculiar neste trabalho: a fusão deste conto representará a materialização metafórica de Benjamin a partir da personagem Eliza.

The basis of his research is the interpretation of the visible phenomenon of Paris, the Capital of the Nineteenth Century: passageways, iron buildings, the kinds of illumination, sceneries, the interior of bourgeois abodes, fashion and the Jugendstil, feuilletons, stockade fights deriving from the social movements, the Haussmann urban reforms, social types as flâneur, the collector and the player, the technical productions of Saint-Simon and Fourier’s utopian socialism, also Baudelaire’s poetics in particular, and etc. The German Author focuses especially on the contradiction between the development of the production forces and the use of these forces by the society in the capitalistic relations of production. This contradiction expresses itself in the symbolic space of oniric images, which interpenetrates the old and the new, and configures all buildings in modern society. The methodological picture sketched in the paper on the Parisian commercial galleries has as a basis the analogy proposed between the psychoanalytical interpretation of dreams and the interpretation of collective phenomena seen as oniric forms. The problem of the reified social appearance acquires whole elaboration in the constitution of the methodological statute of the dialectical image, based on the suspension of ambiguous elements in the fetish cultural phenomena. We present in this paper the master lines of historical awakening’s political category that, while interpretation process and history critique, operates a conceptual summary (constellation) that dialectically interrelates the complex group of theoretical categories: the good’s fetish character, the expression concept, the distinction between oniric and dialectic image, as well as the awakening itself. Thus, Benjamin sets the basis for a critical social theory and of a new understanding of the historical knowledge in the landmarks of a materialistic historiography. / O projeto das Passagens (Das Passagen-Werk, 1927-1940), estudo inacabado de Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), pois composto de uma série de fragmentos e citações, trata do desdobramento – nas condições do “alto capitalismo” – do conceito do caráter fetiche da mercadoria, no intuito de articular uma teoria social crítica. A base de sua pesquisa situa-se na interpretação dos fenômenos visíveis da Paris, capital do século XIX: as passagens, as construções de ferro e os tipos de iluminação, os panoramas, o interior das moradias burguesas, a moda e o Jugendstil, os folhetins, as lutas de barricadas decorrentes dos movimentos sociais, as reformas urbanas de Haussmann, tipos sociais como o flâneur, o colecionador e o jogador, as produções teóricas do socialismo utópico de Saint-Simon e Fourier, bem como a poética de Baudelaire em especial etc. O autor alemão enfoca especificamente a contradição entre o desenvolvimento das forças produtivas e o uso delas por parte do coletivo nas relações capitalistas de produção. Essa contradição se expressa no espaço simbólico das imagens oníricas, as quais interpenetram o antigo e o novo, e configuram todas as construções da sociabilidade moderna. O quadro metodológico esboçado no trabalho sobre as galerias comerciais parisienses tem por base a analogia proposta entre a interpretação dos sonhos psicanalítica e a interpretação dos fenômenos coletivos compreendidos enquanto formas oníricas. O problema desta aparência social reificada ganha plena elaboração na constituição do estatuto metodológico da imagem dialética,com base na suspensão dos elementos ambíguos dos fenômenos da cultura do fetiche. No presente trabalho são apresentadas as linhas mestras da categoria política do despertar histórico que, enquanto processo de interpretação e crítica da história, opera uma síntese conceitual (constelação) que inter-relaciona dialeticamente o conjunto complexo das categorias teóricas: o caráter fetiche da mercadoria, o conceito de expressão, a distinção entre imagem onírica e imagem dialética, bem como do próprio despertar. Desse modo, Benjamin lança as bases para uma teoria social crítica e para uma nova escrita da história nos marcos de uma historiografia materialista.
