More just the notes and ramblings of someone earnestly trying to explain the feeling of being high. And that person is Walter Benjamin, so when it's good, it's really good. I laughed out loud a couple times thinking about Benjamin just being all high-school stonery. "The hashish-eater experiences the power of the gaze to suck a hundred sites out of one place. Morning sleep after smoking. It's as though, so I said, life had been sealed up like food preserved in a can. Sleep, however, is the liquid in which it lay, and which now, saturated with all the aromas of life, is poured off. Red is like a butterfly alighting upon each shade of the color red" Verzamelde inzichten die Benjamin vanuit de eerste hand over de narcotische roes heeft verworven. Benjamin hanteert een tweeledige benaderingswijze: '(...) die van een deelnemer die zich gewillig overlevert aan de roes, en van iemand die daarbij tegelijkertijd de kracht mobiliseert om datgene wat hij daarbij ondergaat tot spreken te brengen en er kritisch tegenover te stellen.' Een korte reeks geschriften die de roes van bewustzijnsverdovende middelen tot onderwerp hebben, bestaande uit verslagen van experimenten met drugs waaraan Benjamin heeft deelgenomen. Slechts 2 teksten uit deze interessante bundeling werden effectief door Benjamin gepubliceerd. Aan de andere heeft hij meegewerkt, ondersteuning verleend of aantekeningen bezorgd, maar zonder ermee naar buiten te komen. Ondanks de fragmentarische, geheimzinnige en chaotische aard, een boeiend geheel in de typisch suggestieve stijl van Benjamin geschreven. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Walter Benjamin's posthumously published collection of writings on hashish is a detailed blueprint for a book that was never written--a "truly exceptional book about hashish," as Benjamin describes it in a letter to his friend Gershom Scholem. A series of "protocols of drug experiments," written by himself and his co-participants between 1927 and 1934, together with short prose pieces that he published during his lifetime, On Hashish provides a peculiarly intimate portrait of Benjamin, venturesome as ever at the end of the Weimar Republic, and of his unique form of thought. Consciously placing himself in a tradition of literary drug-connoisseurs from Baudelaire to Hermann Hesse, Benjamin looked to hashish and other drugs for an initiation into what he called "profane illumination." At issue here, as everywhere in Benjamin's work, is a new way of seeing, a new connection to the ordinary world. Under the influence of hashish, as time and space become inseparable, experiences become subtly stratified and resonant: we inhabit more than one plane in time. What Benjamin, in his contemporaneous study of Surrealism, calls "image space" comes vividly to life in this philosophical immersion in the sensuous. This English-language edition of On Hashish features a section of supplementary materials--drawn from Benjamin's essays, letters, and sketches--relating to hashish use, as well as a reminiscence by his friend Jean Selz, which concerns a night of opium-smoking in Ibiza. A preface by Howard Eiland discusses the leading motifs of Benjamin's reflections on intoxication. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
