Abstract
Si bien la participación activa de Benjamin dentro del Movimiento Juvenil finalizó cuando su líder Gustav Wyneken se pronunció a favor de la guerra, la tarea de elaboración de aquella ruptura y la crítica de su militancia juvenil y sus supuestos se realizó en distintas etapas y se extendió durante mucho tiempo. Este trabajo analiza uno de esos momentos autocríticos, una reseña de los Pensieri de Giacomo Leopardi, escrita en 1928 en ocasión de la traducción alemana de los mismos. Mostraré que en aquel texto Benjamin efectúa un ajuste de cuentas tardío con su compromiso juvenil y, en particular, con la ambivalencia que rodeaba a la Idea de la juventud y al vínculo que ésta establecía entre escritura y acción política.
Although Benjamin’s participation in the Youth Movement ended after his leader Gustav Wyneken pronounces himself in favour of the war, the work of elaborating that break-up and the criticism towards his own youth militancy and it’s assumptions. This paper analyzes one of this moments of self-criticism, a review of the german translation of Giacomo Leopardi’s Pensieri written in 1928. I’ll show that in this text Benjamin undertakes a late settling of scores with his youth engagement and particularly with the ambivalence towards the Idea of Youth and the kind of connection that the Youth Movement established between writing and political praxis.
