[英文摘要] :
This article aims to read Walter Benjamin’s “The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility” by focusing on the condi-tions that redefine the human being in terms of the interplay between the corporeal and the technological. The discussion starts by explor-ing Benjamin’s concept of the collective body organized in technology. The collective body, as put forward in Benjamin’s early writings on anthropological issues, combines the human and the technological. The “Work of Art” essay takes it further by treating film as the kind of modern art based on the necessary technological measurements and operations that open up for the human being a space of expanded experience and altered perception conditioned by the second tech-nology. This leads to a re-orientation of the theory of perception as film, with its tactile/tactical dimension and particular materi-al-technological operations, allows its viewers to get closer to things by incorporating directly what it mediates. In this way, film accom-plishes its historical task of turning technology into a first nature for the collective body.
