I could have sworn I just saw something like this phrase in one of my books on Benjamin, could it be Jennings' DIALECTICAL IMAGES? FYI, I finally dug up my Benjamin book I couldn't place by name: 'WITH THE SHARPENED AXE OF REASON': APPROACHES TO WALTER BENJAMIN, edited by Gerhard Fischer. Oxford; Washington, DC: Berg, 1996. I've never seen a book from this publisher before. This is a collection of essays centered around four large themes: modernity/postmodernity, gender/utopia, literature/epistelography, performing arts/children's theatre. David Frisby's opening essay on Benjamin's prehistory of modernity is interesting, so far.
