Scattered notes for a paper on Benjamin and Heidegger

This might not be a paper I will end up writing, so I put my notes here:

In "Theory of Gambling"
The Hand and the body more than the eye as the experience of the gambler "feeling" the table.

In "The Work of Art In The Time of Its Technological Reproducibility"
The Freeing of the hand by technologies of reproducibility
and the "Shock:" the eye touched while watching a film

In Being and Time
This schema the opposite of the augenblick whih eschews techne's setting and space--it is the pure relation of Dasein to ecstatic (dispersed) temporality which only then gives space.

Comparison (which relies on a difference in the concept of dispersion [Zerstreuung] between Heidegger and Benjamin: dispersion for Heidegger is geshick, being determined from outside, as well as Benjamin, but for Heidegger this ecstatic relation is only temporal where for Benjamin it is spatio-temporal, in fact irreducibly spatial--cf. Sam Weber, Mass Mediauras)
Augenblick as the view of the history (destining) of light and clearing/concealing compared to the history of shocks [touch] in the theses on the concept of history. cf. Benjamin on Augenblick in his text on Baudelaire: "The camera imparts to the Augenblick an as it were posthumous shock"--after it is already dead, dying beyond dying.

Gambling and risk (cf. Lyotard's Just Gaming, Pascal, and Deleuze's Nietzsche)
These show us two ideas of risk, in gambling existence. for benjamin gambling as an activity shows us the activity of subjectivity itself--in Heidegger nothing is truly gambled because it always can (or does, has to) return from representation to being's possibility, to the nonrisk of presence.

also cf. Benjamin's theories of german fascism and the theologico-political fragment possibly vs. Heidegger's early writing on the three-day meditation on world war I.
