Leibniz, and the Baroque can thus be seen as the locus of modern media.<br />By critically comparing Benjamin and Deleuzes interpretations of the Baroque, Levin demonstrates the extent to which their theories of visual culture are intertwined with critiques of Enlightenment historiography and politics. Using a hermeneutic comparative approach, this book argues that the juxtaposition of Benjamins reception of Leibniz with Deleuzes highlights the extent to which both authors theories of image and media were informed by Leibnizs concepts of expression and perspectivism, themselves inspired by ground-breaking evolutions in optics and perspective. Providing close readings of Deleuzes <em>The Fold</em> and Benjamins <em>Origin of the German Trauerspiel</em>, which remain understudied in the English language, it explores how, in their dual roles of philosopher and cultural critic, the pair may illuminate our own age of multiple crises through the Baroque.</p>...6868283Benjamin, Deleuze and the Baroque18032003https://www.gandhi.com.mx/benjamin--deleuze-and-the-baroque-9781350414235/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6770640/image.jpg?v=638720505661000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781350414235_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_<p>For Walter Benjamin and Gilles Deleuze, who both authored seminal theoretical works on early cinema and photography, the history of modern media begins much earlier, in Baroque culture and science. <em>Benjamin, Deleuze and the Baroque</em> argues that their media theories were informed by their respective readings of the philosophy and mathematics of G.W.
