Description
Awarded work in October 2017, with the Walter Benjamin International Memorial Prize in the «Recognition of unpublished essay work». This book traces a general course on the prerogatives proper to mass communication apparatus that leads to a more detailed analysis of the critical attempts underlying radio works Walter Benjamin writes and locates on the radio between 1927 and 1933. Our analysis starts with the dialogues to gradually opt for a proposal to read the broadcasts directed exclusively to children and youth audiences edited in «Aufklärung für Kinder». These texts interrupt the usual work of the radio, such as a transmission strap of values and forms of communication present. The childish gesture crossed by the cinematographic representation of the infants and recovered in theatrical practice with children will abound in this break of the compactness of the present of the communication: the «Proletarian children's theater program» will be 'in charge of moving the issue of the transmission of speeches to the field m It is weak, and polemic, of behaviors. The modes of transmission are, therefore, a preponderant space from which to modulate political responses; the field of conduct, where de facto forms of government are played; The texts on the mimesis of the 1930s, our last scale in this route that aims to train children, forms of public intervention and politicization.
