“[Walter Benjamin] is perhaps the only one who has given me such a strong feeling that there is a depth of thought where, driven by a rigorous logical reasoning, precise facts of history and science take place on a plane where they cohabit with their poetic double. This is the very plane where poetry and science […] reveal themselves as an expression of reality that illuminates the most secret relations between man and the world.”
Jean Selz, Walter Benjamin in Ibiza
The Journal is positioned at the crossroads of anthropology and materialism, an encounter exemplified by the work of Walter Benjamin. A platform of interdisciplinary dialogue on anthropological materialism and materialist anthropology, the Journal engages in historical, cultural and social analysis from critical perspectives that embrace a wide theoretical spectrum.
