The book delves into various aspects of Kracauer's work, focusing on his phenomenology of urban life, historiographic methods, and the evolution of subjectivity in late capitalism. It explores new perceptions, the role of intellectual critics, and the sociology of the middle class, alongside his theories on fascism and literary genres. A distinctive feature is its examination of Kracauer's writings in relation to heterodox Marxism, challenging the common neglect of the political and emancipatory elements in his thought.
