Part eight of the series “Write like Walter Benjamin” where you’ll learn how to write art theory with the help of Benjamins essay “The work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction,” using Andy Blundens translation. For some reason I always misspeak Andys surname as “Bloomden” and I apologise for that. Sooner or later I’ll get it right.
Today, we’ll work through chapter six, which is a short one. If you’ve followed this course from the beginning (as I keep insisting that you do) you should be getting the hang of writing art theory by now, and I hope you are excited about it.
