Philosophical thought from intellectual marginality. The marginal identifications of Benjaminian discourse

This paper proposes to reconstruct Benjamin's philosophical thought from the category of “marginality.” In this way, his thought is interpreted as inclined will that situates, locates, and installs itself) to constantly seek out the margins of different blocks so that, from this new position, he can build something totally different (exercise his power). In this sense, such thinking would be ‘strange’ and in keeping with his own existence, which was decentralized and marginal, an existence that found him as an outsider.
The approach mainly proposes a ‘conceptual axis’ (genealogical identification of ideas and concepts, with which Benjamin established identifications and constructed elective affinities) complemented by another ‘biographical-contextual’ axis (Benjamin's production in relation to the marginalizing states that affected his personal and social life) focused on the
historical and socio-political context surrounding his production. The result is that thinking from the margins, which as his life progresses is more or less consistent with his existence: at first he seeks the margins in the academic sphere, then in the sphere of the Weimar Republic, and finally in the sphere of exile (absence of space). Thus, once his thinking has been constructed from the place of ‘intellectual marginality’, it will no longer be considered unfortunate or anecdotal, but quite the contrary, it will be the necessary foundation consciously and deliberately sought so that once he is in that position, he can formulate an original alternative of thought and expression.
