Published: 01 November 2015
... offers an alternative point of view. Benjamin’s focus on gesture offers concrete ways of reconceptualizing both identification and disidentification. Read together with his critique of legal violence, one can also see how the gesture displays and arrests the destructive power of the state. Benjamin thus...

... reducible to its visual representative of a rotting thing nor is it immediate or visceral or marked by obviousness; and decay is not a metaphor for moral declivity or ideological distaste.

..., to bear witness to the world that is left out of familiar cycles of production and reproduction, and to remake the world by other means.

... in a particular way to the ideology of choice. Psychoanalysis, however, has always understood choice in a complex way.

Bersani and Dutoit’s concept of renunciation undermines modernist medium specificity and points to a form of pseudomorphosis that reveals the fundamental homo-ness between the arts.
