Benjamin’s Hidden Doctrine
Paperback || Lieven de Cauter || nai010 uitgevers publishers
This thorough study on the work of the German-Jewish philosopher Walter Benjamin exposes - in Benjamin’s own metaphor - the ‘dwarf of theology’ hidden in the machinery of his work, his own form of ‘historical materialism’.

The perfect spectator vis-à-vis-serie
the experience of the art work and reception aesthetics
2017 || Paperback || Janneke Wesseling || Valiz
What happens between a spectator and an art work? How do we experience 'meaning' in a work of art? How can the process of interpretation be understood and articulated? To address these questions, the author explores the field of reception aesthetics, with its central premise that the contemplation of art is a matter of interaction between the art work and the observer.
