<br/><br/> Is Paris still the capital of the 19th century? The question that guides this volume stems from Walter Benjamin's studies of 19th century Parisian culture as the apex of capitalist aesthetics. Thirteen scholars test Benjamin's ideas about the centrality of Paris, formulated in the 1930s, from a variety of methodological perspectives.
