Summary/Abstract: The text focuses on several of the manifestations of the concept of life in the work of Walter Benjamin, mainly in the famous study “Towards the Critique of Violence” (1921) and in the later monograph “Origin of the German Baroque Drama” (1928). The central research question regards the place of the concept of life in the general framework of genre theory, which Benjamin develops in his monograph. On the one hand, the concept of life proves to be internally double and heterogeneous, and on the other – to be one of the key genre markers that distinguish the genre of tragedy from that of the baroque drama.
