    Walter Benjamin: The Refugee and Migrant

    Was Walter Benjamin a refugee or a migrant? Would he be considered as one or the other today? Is this what it means to actualise, to make contemporary, to bring Walter Benjamin into the Now?

    On the anniversary of Walter Benjamin's birth, we republish Esther Leslie's Walter Benjamin: The Refugee and Migrant.

    The Storm Blowing from Paradise: Walter Benjamin and Klee's Angelus Novus

    What was so marvellous to Benjamin about this goofy, eternally hovering angel with hair that looks like paper scrolls, aerodynamically hopeless wings and googly if rather melancholy eyes? “This,” he wrote in one of his greatest essays, “is how one pictures the angel of history.”
