«Imaginación y sociedad» (Iluminaciones I) is a collection of essays by Walter Benjamin, published by Taurus in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In these texts, Benjamin approaches literature, criticism and society by oblique paths, close to the surrealist sensibility. The volume brings together his works on Proust, Kafka and Julien Green, chosen not with a retrospective gaze but for their connection with contemporary creative imagination.
Published in 1998. It is the first volume of the Iluminaciones series, with a translation by Jesús Aguirre.
For readers of philosophy and literary criticism interested in twentieth-century European thought.
Walter Bendix Schönflies Benjamin was a German philosopher, cultural critic, media theorist, and essayist. An eclectic thinker who combined elements of German idealism, Jewish mysticism, Western Marxism, and post-Kantianism, he made contributions to the philosophy of history, metaphysics, historical materialism, criticism, and aesthetics, and had an oblique but overwhelmingly influential impact on the resurrection of the Kabbalah by virtue of his life-long epistolary relationship with Gershom Scholem.
