His writings have shaped the reception of Benjamin’s work in Latin America and have been central to the effort to identify the tasks and responsibilities of the kind of critical theory that would interrupt social violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Oyarzun examines some of the key concepts in Benjamin’s work – including his concepts of translation, experience, history, and storytelling – and relates them to his own systematic reflection on the nature and implications of \u003cem\u003edoing justice\u003c\/em\u003e. What is meant by the words ‘justice was done’? The passive voice is important here. On the one hand, justice does nothing: it is not an agent, it can only prevail or fail, and if it fails, it does so without limit. On the other hand, the passive voice alludes to the agents of an action while covering them up; the allusion is the masking of the identity and traces of the person who accomplishes the action. And this cover-up can be dangerous: it can cover-up the executioners, who are subjects that everyone can confirm anonymously, without their being recognised and without their wanting to be recognised. Justice, argues Oyarzun, can only be done in the active effort to do justice – or, as Benjamin would say, in the striving to turn the world into the highest good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book by one of Chile’s most distinguished philosophers will be of value to anyone interested in Benjamin’s work and in the development of critical theory in Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000596250860,"sku":"9781509541980","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12442053482725.jpg?v=1763288148"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/pablo-oyarzun.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
