Abstract

This paper aims to develop an investigation on the links between photography and the processes of knowledge in Walter Benjamin’s Gnoseological Preface. In details, the article presents the following reflective knots: a) complementarity, i.e. the image of a reciprocal completion between medium and consciousness; b) attention and distraction intended as psychic states that characterize the development of the reflection; c) the qualitative difference that separates intentional discourses and dialectical images; d) details and the coup d’oeil as the time and rhythm of the representation; e) to point out the esthetic and gnoseological links that connect in a theoretical configuration the first romantic reflections to the media theory
