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.
