| description | What is Walter Benjamin saying when he writes “auto-alienation”? This is the question of this work. This text will have four moments. On the one hand, a presentation of famous Benjamin’s essay “The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility” such as it can be follow in a careful lecture, paying attention to his argumentation. A second moment, where I will pause in the apparition of “self-alienation” concept, in the quoted text. In third place, I will develop the reflections about cinema of other author, Jean Epstetin, filmmaker and philosopher of the movies, attending to the possible similitude in the ways of thinking the cinema as technique. One intuition guides mi text: Benjamin was watching, in the beginnings of the XX century, the communicational environment where we live; the two last hyper-connected decades are fledgling on his thoughts. This hypothesis, fourth moment of this work, will be tested. |

Por un lado, una presentación del famoso ensayo “La obra de arte en la época de su reproductibilidad técnica”, tal como puede ser seguido en una lectura atenta a su argumentación. Un segundo momento, en el que me detendré en la aparición del concepto de “autoalienación”, en el texto citado. En tercer lugar, desarrollaré las reflexiones en torno al cine de otro autor, Jean Epstein, cineasta y filósofo del cinematógrafo, atendiendo a las posibles similitudes en las formas de pensar el cine como técnica. Una intuición guía mi escrito: Benjamin estaba viendo, a principios del siglo XX, el entorno comunicacional en el que vivimos; las últimas dos décadas híper-conectadas se encuentran en ciernes en sus pensamientos. Esta hipótesis, cuarto momento del trabajo, será puesta a prueba.
