Both  reading Benjamin and watching himself reading Benjamin, Richter  participates in the act of inheriting while also inquiring into the  conditions of possibility for inheriting Benjamin's corpus today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGerhard Richter\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of German Studies and Comparative Literature and Chair of the German Studies Department at Brown University, USA.
