[Public Domain Review] On Benjamin’s Public (Oeuvre)

Mon Oct 31 15:14:30 UTC 2011

On the run from the Nazis in 1940, the philosopher, literary critic and
essayist Walter Benjamin committed suicide in the Spanish border town of
Portbou. In 2011, over 70 years later, his writings enter the public domain
in many countries around the world. Anca Pusca, author of Walter Benjamin:
The Aesthetics of Change, reflects on the relevance of Benjamin's oeuvre in
a digital age, and the implications of his work becoming freely available
online.
