MACHADO, Francisco de Ambrosis Pinheiro. Myth and Emancipation in Walter Benjamin and Herbert Marcuse. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.81, pp.1671-1688.  Epub Dec 31, 2023. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v37n81a2023-70298.

The present paper draws a parallel and approximation between the conception of myth in Walter Benjamin and Herbert Marcuse. It seeks to show how these authors, at a certain point in their works, propose an overcoming of myth based on it, that is, without giving up a certain emancipatory potential present in its imagetic dimension and in its link with fantasy.

Keywords : Walter Benjamin; Herbert Marcuse; Myth; Emancipation; Phantasy; Image.
