"Baudelaire's Media Aesthetics situates Charles Baudelaire in the midst of 19th-century
media culture. It offers a thorough study of the role of newspapers, photography,
and pre-cinematic devices in Baudelaire's writings, while also discussing the cultural
history of these media generally. Whereas Baudelaire is often seen as an advocate
of "art for art's sake" and an enemy of the mechanical arts, this book reveals that
Baudelaire's aesthetics was inspired by 19th-century media technology. It argues that
Baudelaire played with the new forms of perception emerging in the media age, using
them as frames of perception and ways of experiencing the world. Highlighting Baudelaire's
interaction with the media in his age, this study also addresses the ways in which
we respond to new media technology, drawing on perspectives from Walter Benjamin and
Giorgio Agamben. Baudelaire's Media Aesthetics bridges the gap between literary and
visual studies by introducing perspectives from media, visual and cinema studies in
the reading of Baudelaire. Combining detailed research with contemporary theory, it
opens up new perspectives on Baudelaire's writings, the figure of the flâneur, and
modernist aesthetics" ; "Investigates the writings of Charles Baudelaire in light
of 19th-century media technology, with perspectives from Walter Benjamin and Giorgio
Agamben"
