O texto investiga os sentidos do isolamento na lírica de Mascha Kaléko. Interessa à abordagem em particular os significados sociais no tratamento do tema da solidão em algumas composições reunidas no título "Das lyrische Stenogrammheft", de 1933. O trânsito entre vida pública e privada, assim como as articulações daí resultantes, que tensionam os conflitos individuais no contexto da cidade moderna, organizam, aqui, os critérios de aproximação aos poemas. O objetivo é reconhecer na poesia da autora uma possibilidade de relacionar de maneira produtiva o momento presente e o potencial interpretativo implicado na representação da experiência da metrópole, partindo de Berlim, na República de Weimar.
Dante's "Inferno" and Walter Benjamin's cities : considerations of place, experience, and media
(2011)
When Walter Benjamin wrote his main texts, the theme of the city as hell was extremely popular. Some of his German contemporaries, such as Brecht or Döblin, also used it. Benjamin was aware of these examples, as well as of examples outside Germany, including Joyce's "Ulysses" and Baudelaire's "poetry". And he was - at least in some way - familiar with Dante's "Inferno" and used it, and in particular Dante's conception of hell, for his own purposes. Benjamin's appropriation of the topos of the Inferno has been seen as a critique of capitalism and as a general critique of modernism by means of allegory. In the following analysis, Angela Merte-Rankin takes a slightly different approach and, despite Benjamin's status as an expert on allegory, considers hell in its literal sense as a place and examines the issues of implacement that might follow from this standpoint.
