Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Where the Angelus Novus succeeds in entering the future by virtue of the historical continuum constituted by catastrophes and ruins, the angels of Heiner Müller, the great German dramatist of the divided and then reunified Berlin, experience a kind of immobility, an incapacity to act, and thus inaugurate a new hermeneutic of the angel once owned by Walter Benjamin. A figure of German postmodernity, if one thinks of Wim Wenders’ movie Wings of Desire, or the Berlin Love Parade which used to end at the Victory Column.
