The essay aims to uncover the somehow overlooked sensorial faculty of tactility in Walter Benjamin’s epistemology of images. Not only is “Das Taktische” transposed into the critical mode of reception characterizing modernity, but the meaning of the tactile, inciting a destructive relation to the integrity of the optical, lies in a certain attention to organic and non-organic decay underlying Benjamin’s meditations on the inexpressive acoustical dimension of language. According to the “Work of Art” essay, the medium, or the idea of architecture is dominated by tactility. The encounter between Benjamin and Carl Linfert’s study on the topic of the “borderline case” of architectural representation illuminates the architectural imaginaries used by Benjamin to capture the baroque allegorical Schauplatz. Constellating these accounts, the significance of tactility for the Benjaminian construal of the conditions of mediality, language and being unfolds.

“Im Taktischen”：沃尔特·本杰明作品中的触感

本文旨在揭示沃尔特·本雅明 (Walter Benjamin) 的图像认识论中不知何故被忽视的触觉感官能力。不仅“Das Taktische”被转换为表征现代性的批判性接受模式，而且触觉的意义，煽动对光学完整性的破坏性关系，在于对本雅明冥想中有机和非有机衰变的某种关注关于语言的无表达的声学维度。根据“艺术作品”文章，建筑的媒介或理念以触感为主。本杰明和卡尔林弗特关于建筑表现“边界案例”主题的研究之间的相遇阐明了本杰明用来捕捉巴洛克寓言式 Schauplatz 的建筑想象。星座这些帐户，
