Benjamin’s gamble: commodifying life in the age of heroic demise by Stephanie Polsky

“…Benjamin became fascinated with charting the social narrative of the future dead, whether they existed in a celebrated state as it was the case with heroic suicide or as tragic disposable bodies that National Socialism would eventually excise by deeming them unworthy of life. It was hard to locate a singular perpetrator within the scheme of the new system of violent explosion from the body of the state. …”
