RABINOVICH, Silvana. Walter Benjamin: el coleccionismo como gesto filosófico. Acta poét [online]. 2007, vol.28, n.1-2, pp.241-256. ISSN 2448-735X.

Walter Benjamin devoted various texts to the figure of the collector, nevertheless the gesture of the collector is not reduced to be a kind of analysis, but it leaves a trace of its philosophical character. We will try to approach collectionism as a philosophical gesture, as an exercise of memory filled with future. In Benjamin's texts, reading and writing as exercises of a collector are translated into a promise of justice.
