Abstract:

The introduction to Benjamin’s Arcades Project, was written in 1938 but not published until after his death in 1940. It is an attempt to categorically reveal how, through the apparent chaos and convulsions in 19th century Parisian culture and society, great explorations and exposés of the realities of the epoch and its ramifications for later generations, are afforded us by examination of the lives and works of its inhabitants. This is a new translation into English.
