ASJA LĀCIS IN NAPLES: HOW THE CONCEPT OF POROSITY INFLUENCED BENJAMIN AND ADORNO’S STYLE OF PHILOSOPHICAL WRITING

Summary/Abstract: In 1924 Asja Lacis and Walter Benjamin meet in Capri and write together the short text “Naples” which got famous for its way of pictorial thinking and marks Benjamin’s turn towards the phenomena and politics of actual everyday life. But there is much more. In “Naples”, the authors use the porosity they find in the building material and the social happenings in Naples as a concept of thinking and a new, alternative structure of philosophical writing. I want to show how “Porosity” becomes the nucleus of the concept of constellation, one of the most important notions in the work of Benjamin and, influenced by him, Adorno.
