Notes
Walter Benjamin, Origin of German Tragic Drama (London: Verso, 1998), 45; translation modified.
Ibid.
Ibid., 36.
On the Husserlian notion of an animating, meaning-giving Bedeutungsintention and its relation to singularity and repetition, see Jacques Derrida, “Meaning as Soliloquy,” in Speech and Phenomenon, trans. David B. Allison (Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 1973), 32–47.
«Auf die Minute» in German suggests precisely the situation that confronts Benjamin and to which he finds himself incapable of conforming: being exactly “on time,” measured in minutes.
Ibid., 96.
