Sumario:Walter Benjamin generated a wide theoretical production in dialogue with his contemporaries and predecessors, remaining a keen observer interested in the times he had to go through as a Jewish intellectual and exile after the Nazis took power in 1933 in Germany. His concerns articulated a series of premises and theoretical developments that allowed him to address the potential and concrete consequences that this direct intervention of the assumption of Nazism had on the daily experiences of its addressees. In this article I will focus on the conceptualisations and senses with which our author construes this experience, his ways of providing meaning to it and the possible relationships that Benjamin establishes between the experience and the concept of narrative, or more precisely, the impossibility of narrative. From that point of departure, the analytical framework will also address the conceptual cores of justice and memory to investigate the configuration of an ethical-political thought in our author.
