Het kunstwerk in het tijdperk van zijn technische reproduceerbaarheid
Book • 2017
In this influential essay, Walter Benjamin argues that the advent of mechanical reproduction devalues the unique 'aura' of a work of art.
He discusses how technological advancements, such as photography and film, change the way art is perceived and valued, moving it from a ritualistic and unique context to a mass-produced and politically charged one.
The essay also delves into the socio-economic and political implications of these changes, particularly in the context of capitalist and fascist societies.
