Resumo: This paper studies a tension between Marx’s and Benjamin’s thought, in connection with the different ways they regard memory. In principle, it could be argued that these authors assume opposing points of view: while in The Eighteen Brumaire Marx argues that any recourse to the past is superstition; for Benjamin, the revolutionary change refers to the past. However, what calls our attention is that Benjamin in his Thesis XIV maintains that the leap to the past that he defends is “the revolution as Marx has understood it”. Our aim here is to explain why Benjamin included this reference to Marx if he knew about his refusal to accept any reference to the past.

En principio, podría afirmarse que estos autores asumen puntos de vista contrapuestos: mientras en El Dieciocho Brumario Marx sostiene que toda apelación al pasado es superstición, por lo que la revolución no puede sacar de allí su lírica; para Benjamin, el cambio revolucionario cita al pasado. Lo que llama la atención, sin embargo, es que Benjamin en la Tesis XIV afirma que el salto al pasado que él reivindica es “la revolución tal y como la entendió Marx”. Nuestro objetivo aquí será indagar los motivos por los que Benjamin incluye esta referencia a Marx, considerando que él conocía su negativa a que la revolución se nutriera del pasado.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2015-06-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/63810.31977/grirfi.v11i1.638Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 11 n. 1 (2015); 133-1422178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/638/354Lipcen, Erikainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-06-30T18:17:34Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/638Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2020-06-30T18:17:34Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false
