Habits of Distraction - Critical Inventions

Starting with Walter Benjamin's idea of 'reception in a state of distraction' and looking briefly at some antecedents for Benjamin's thinking, this book develops a working model of distraction in interpretation. It includes examples that are taken from film (Benjamin's test case), literature, music, painting and photography.
