Notes

'\nBoth Kracauer and Benjamin assess memory darkly, perceiving it as under threat or fugitive, an arena of social, technological, economic, and political conflict, while \"genuine\" memory is a possession of only {124} those who are or may one day be fully, unalienated post-capitalist humans.\n'
