German social theory
Marxist and neo-Marxist theory
Walter Benjamin's contribution to the discipline of anthropology is perhaps, given the content and scope of this volume, comparatively large. This is not because Benjamin (1892–1940) was an anthropologist by training or by academic association in any recognizable way, nor is it because his Gesammelte Schriften (Collected Writings, 1972–1989) addresses the profession of anthropology in any systematic, historical, critical, or even occasional way.
