From here, an attempt will be made to show the importance that the category of image and the pair forgetfulness (reverie) - memory (awakening) acquire in benjaminian thought when it comes to addressing the modern problem around the degradation of political experience. Partiendo de las tensiones conceptuales entre las obras tempranas y las de madurez de Walter Benjamin, el presente trabajo propone abordar sus reflexiones en torno a la crisis moderna de la experiencia  política en el marco de la sociedad de masas a partir de dos perspectivas que involucran la noción de imagen, a saber: la corporal-perceptiva presente en sus referencias a la vida urbana y referida a afecciones psicofísicas como el olvido, el shock y la ensoñación, y la histórico-memoriosa desarrollada a partir de la tardía noción de imagen dialéctica íntimamente relacionada con las ideas de despertar y de acción política en clave de rememoración. Desde aquí, se intentará mostrar la importancia que la categoría de imagen y el par olvido (ensoñación) - recuerdo (despertar) adquieren en el pensamiento benjaminiano a la hora de abordar el problema moderno en torno a la degradación de la experiencia política. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/9994 10.34096/cf.n75.9994 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/9994/9860 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/9994/9874 Derechos de autor 2021 Cuadernos de filosofía Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 75 (2020): Julio-Diciembre 2362-485X 0590-1901 awakening Benjamin image politics Benjamin despertar imagen política Walter Benjamin, the urban drunkenness and the political awakening of the masses Walter Benjamin, la embriaguez urbana y el despertar político de las masas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cufilo&d=9994_oai
