benjamin's Teological political fragment
understand your own practice
dividing practice from theory or reaction and wilful action
cultural production in modernity

Benjamin's own cultural production and the production of text
objectivity's problem; objective meaning of the cultural object
phenomenological problem; truth of the primary experience of the social world
Bourdieu

isolation of the value form from its body - neo'kantian
