ABSTRACT

Despite the recognition of Walter Benjamin’s influence on Jean-Luc Godard’s cinema, little in-depth comparative work has been conducted on this relationship to date. The article provides a close reading of Godard’s documentary political filmmaking and articulates it with a large spectrum of Benjamin’s texts, from the early writings and unpublished fragments to his latter and best-known work. The article looks beyond methodological confluences between Benjamin’s historiography and Godard’s cinema, enabling the viewer to consider philosophical, philological, metahistorical and aesthetic issues that chart new points of analysis for further comparative work. The first sections examine the importance of dream and spectral appearances in the redemptive historiography of both authors; the middle sections problematise dialectical thinking, image and language, investigating the specificities of both Benjamin’s and Godard’s practices and theoretical approaches; the final sections consider the theological and Messianic interpretation of historical time, analysing the importance of ethical and political aspects in the work of both authors. By exhaustively mapping the specific moments in which Benjamin’s passages appear in Godard’s films, the article offers a way of entering into some of the most enigmatic formulations of Benjamin’s historiography, while opening up Godard’s documentary cinema to new readings.

让-吕克·戈达尔和瓦尔特·本雅明:元历史、辩证意象和世俗神学

摘要

尽管承认沃尔特·本雅明对让-吕克·戈达尔的电影产生了影响,但迄今为止对这种关系进行的深入比较工作很少。这篇文章仔细阅读了戈达尔的政治纪录片制作,并将其与本雅明的大量文本联系起来,从早期的著作和未发表的片段到他后期最著名的作品。这篇文章超越了本雅明的史学和戈达尔的电影之间的方法论汇合,使观众能够考虑哲学、语言学、元历史学和美学问题,这些问题为进一步的比较工作制定了新的分析点。第一部分考察了梦境和幽灵出现在两位作者的救赎史学中的重要性;中间部分质疑辩证思维,图像和语言,研究本雅明和戈达尔的实践和理论方法的特殊性;最后几节考虑了对历史时间的神学和弥赛亚解释,分析了两位作者作品中伦理和政治方面的重要性。通过详尽地描绘本雅明的段落出现在戈达尔电影中的特定时刻,本文提供了一种进入本雅明史学中一些最神秘的表述的方式,同时为戈达尔的纪录片电影打开了新的阅读大门。分析伦理和政治方面在两位作者作品中的重要性。通过详尽地描绘本雅明的段落出现在戈达尔电影中的特定时刻,本文提供了一种进入本雅明史学中一些最神秘的表述的方式,同时为戈达尔的纪录片电影打开了新的阅读大门。分析伦理和政治方面在两位作者作品中的重要性。通过详尽地描绘本雅明的段落出现在戈达尔电影中的特定时刻,本文提供了一种进入本雅明史学中一些最神秘的表述的方式,同时为戈达尔的纪录片电影打开了新的阅读大门。
