Words of Light: Theses on the Photography of History Paperback - 1998 - 1st Edition
by Eduardo Cadava
Author Eduardo Cadava demonstrates how Walter Benjamin articulates history through the language of photography. Written in what Cadava calls "snapshopts in prose"--the book enacts a mode of conceiving history that is neither linear nor successive, but rather discontinuous--constructed from what Benjamin calls "dialectical images". 30 photos.

"Eduardo Cadava is one of the most exciting younger critics working today in literary and cultural studies.... If the future of literary studies depends in no small measure on the capacity of traditional disciplines to adapt and transform themselves, then the significance of Cadava's work can hardly be overestimated."--Sam Weber
"In this careful and caring reading, Eduardo Cadava works with the greatest subtlety through the metaphors of Benjamin's historical imagination, Light, vision, time, trauma--these essential and intangible qualities of life emerge in this luminous essay as a meditation on the writing of history."--Homi Bhabha, author of Nation and Narration
