The “frozen word”. Three epistolary testimonies about Walter Benjamin
Abstract
The paper examines an approach to three moments in the form of letters to understand certain central aspects in the development of Walter Benjamin's philosophical project. In his correspondence with Gershom Scholem, Theodor W. Adorno and Gretel Karplus, some challenges Benjamin faced are explained, such as the supposed transition towards materialism of his thesis or the difficulties in his research on Baudelaire.
