Book, History and narration in Walter Benjamin[LS]

Starting from a rigorously philological reading of Benjamin's legacy, the author, a professor of philosophy at Unicamp, responds not only to radical questions about the connection between death and language, between death and history, but also analyzes the end of traditional forms of historical and cultural transmission , the end of the narration and reveals, intertwined in this theme, the imperative need for a new writing of history.
