"I am unpacking my library. Yes, I am. The books are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. Instead I must ask you to join me in the disorder of crates." (Walter Benjamin, Unpacking my library)
No hay texto en que uno no encuentre a Benjamin acertado, agudo, profundo, preciso. Y aunque siempre es difícil glosarle, aun aparecen quienes fecundan su brío. Bhabha sobre Benjamin: "It was then that it struck me, unpacking my own library -memories of book-buying in Bombay, Oxford, London, Hyberabad, Urbana, Jyavaskala- that it is the 'disorder' of our books that makes of us irredeemable 'vernacular' cosmopolitans committed to what Walter Benjamin describes as the 'renewal of existence'".
