Abstract

This chapter was translated from the original English into Spanish by Ernesto Priego and Natalia Pérez. The discussion developed in this chapter has as context a larger work that took as its point of departure an observation by Gershom Scholem where he points out there were two unmissable modern thinkers that Walter Benjamin avoided to discuss in his work: Freud and Nietzsche. This chapter continues the discussion developed by the author in his book 'Männer aus der Fremde’: Walter Benjamin and the German-Jewish Parnassus' on the strange interconnections between a Jew and a non-Jewish 'foreigner'/'stranger'.
