Sample text
For Benjamin, however, it was not just images that flashed by, but also words. Words such as ‘‘medium,’’ which he perhaps would have considered one of these ‘‘mystical terms’’ of which Schlegel wrote: one that would be all the more mystical for its not having ever appeared in Schlegel’s writing. Rather, it was Benjamin who coined the term to designate the ambivalent and silent quintessence of Schlegel’s thought. In so doing, he opens Schlegel to an afterlife. For, as Benjamin writes, a certain ‘‘constancy of a medial connection, a medium reflective of concepts’’ must be presupposed if any event, unpredictable in its singularity, is ever to occur.
Rather, what this word seems to imply is both a state of connectedness and a process of linkage in which connections are made and unmade through leaps and bounds rather than through continuous evolution or unfolding. In short, ‘‘medium’’ here names a process that never stays the same: all that is continual is its transformations and changes, and these are discontinuous: continual discontinuity. It is this discontinuous movement that constitutes the very ‘‘liveliness’’ of the medium: it is ‘‘alive’’ to the extent that it does not stay the same.
Or, to speak in another vocabulary that is both very old and yet also very contemporary, the unreflective use of the definite article to constitute an object of knowledge that is univocally defined and self-identical—this is tantamount to a denial of the network of relations in which every event is inevitably inscribed, and in so doing it overlooks the fact that every ................. ’’ But this ‘‘inter’’—which is anything but simply ‘‘internal’’—implies and entails a certain relation to language.
