But – as much as that desire may be attune with Benjamin’s own commitment to bringing the past forth to the present – I can’t. I’ve wanted to talk to Walter Benjamin ever since encountering his Arcades Project. 234-239 Chapter in book (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.)) Abstract 2018 (English) In: Legacy: Generations of Creatives in Dialogue / Lukas Feireiss, Amsterdam: Frame Publishers, 2018, p. ![]()

Jon Hassell's "Amsterdam Blue (Cortége)" was originally recorded as a tribute to Chet Baker and submitted to Bono and director Wim Wenders, who made the song a pivotal part of the soundtrack. The version on the soundtrack is identical to the one on the album. "The First Time" originally appeared on U2's 1993 Zooropa album. "Stateless" was later released on the Unreleased & Rare album of U2's digital box set, The Complete U2. "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" was later released as a bonus track on Australian, British, and Japanese versions of All That You Can't Leave Behind. Along with "Stateless", "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" was recorded during sessions for U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind album. The soundtrack version of the song is a different mix from the one used in the film, which was not released commercially. The lyrics of " The Ground Beneath Her Feet" were written by Salman Rushdie, based on his book of the same name. The album was released alongside the film in March 2000, and featured Bono as its executive producer, with new music from U2 and other artists. ![]() The Million Dollar Hotel: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the 2000 film The Million Dollar Hotel. ![]() ![]() But, for me it feels a little strange to have someone writing like the history of my characters that's not accurate. ![]() She's such a powerhouse, she's gonna have an amazing career.

Both The Oresteia and a cricket match, he explained, grasp “at a more complete human existence”. Not that James would recognise a distinction between the two. It was in his adored cricket: an interest as constant and as all-consuming as his devotion to high culture. It was in the Marxism he adopted and then reinvented. It was in the literature he spent silent hours and days engrossed in: Balzac, Hazlitt, Melville. ![]() James claimed he watched Hollywood movies only to cope with the stress of intensively studying HegelĪrt’s “central action” for James – the working out of societal and existential dynamics in the struggles of the individual – was present in every aspect of his life. The literary leads to the social, and the social leads to the literary, as James put it, decades later. Twelve years before James’s move to Britain and conversion to Marxism – 18 before The Black Jacobins, his vaunted study of the Haitian revolution – and we already glimpse one of James’s key commitments. To James’s delight, the all-Black student body “picked up the Shakespearean rhythm to perfection”. ![]() That appetite – that audacity – was evident from James’s first job, as a teacher in Trinidad, organising, choreographing and directing a school play of his choosing: The Merchant of Venice. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Read more helping others that has earned him respect and admiration internationally.
