Entre 1927 et 1934, Walter Benjamin a expérimenté diverses substances. Il s'est non seulement lancé dans les célèbres expériences avec le haschisch, mais il s'est aussi essayé à l'opium, à l'eucodal et à la mescaline. Loin d'être des expériences secondaires dans la vie du philosophe allemand, elles lui permettent au contraire de décrire l'ivresse comme une expérience dialectique. Dans Walter Benjamin, substance, Massimo Palma questionne l'influence que ces expériences ont pu avoir sur le développement de l'œuvre et de la pensée de Benjamin en reparcourant un ensemble considérable de textes du philosophe allemand. Dans cet essai, Massimo Palma pense la dimension politique de l'ivresse.

Hasta ahora la crítica se ha limitado mayoritariamente a cuestionar la tendencia sensacionalista y morbosa con la que las narcoficciones representan la realidad cotidiana y a polemizar sobre la calidad de estas narrativas. Las contribuciones reunidas en el presente volumen se proponen ir más allá de los enfoques habituales, preguntándose cómo la ficción contemporánea adopta nuevas formas de expresión estética para reflexionar sobre la violencia engendrada por el narcotráfico.

High Anxieties explores the history and ideological ramifications of the modern concept of addiction. Little more than a century old, the notions of "addict" as an identity and "addiction" as a disease of the will form part of the story of modernity. What is addiction? This collection of essays illuminates and refashions the term, delivering a complex and mature understanding of addiction. Brodie and Redfield's introduction provides a roadmap for readers and situates the fascinating essays within a larger, interdisciplinary framework. Stacey Margolis and Timothy Melley's pieces grapple with the psychology of addiction. Cannon Schmitt and Marty Roth delve into the relationship between opium and the British Empire's campaign to control and stigmatize China. Robyn R. Warhol and Nicholas O. Warner examine accounts of alcohol abuse in texts as disparate as Victorian novels, Alcoholics Anonymous literature, and James Fenimore Cooper's fiction. Helen Keane scrutinizes smoking, and Maurizio Viano turns to the silver screen to trace how the representation of drugs in films has changed over time. Ann Weinstone and Marguerite Waller's essays on addiction and cyberspace cap this impressive anthology.
