Description:
Pablo Oyarzun is one of the foremost Benjamin scholars in Latin America. His writings have shaped the reception of Benjamin™s work in Latin America and have been central to the effort to identify the tasks and responsibilities of the kind of critical theory that would interrupt social violenceIn this book Oyarzun examines some of the key concepts in Benjamin™s work “ including his concepts of translation, experience, history and storytelling “ and relates them to his own systematic reflection on the nature and implications of Âdoing justice™. What is meant by the words Âjustice was done™? The passive voice is important here. On the one hand, justice does nothing: it is not an agent, it can only prevail or fail, and if it fails, it does so without limit. On the other hand, the passive voice alludes to the agents of an action while covering them up; the allusion is the masking of the identity and traces of the person who accomplishes the action. And this cover-up can be dangerous: it can cover-up the executioners, who are subjects that everyone can confirm anonymously, without their being recognized and without their wanting to be recognized. Justice, argues Oyarzun, can only be done in the active effort to do justice “ or, as Benjamin would say, in the striving to turn the world into the highest goodThis book by one of Chile™s most distinguished philosophers will be of value to anyone interested in Benjamin™s work and in the development of critical theory in Latin America.

Amazing fit, great quality material
Size: 30W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey, Size: 30W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey
I ordered this pair of denim pants in my usual size (30x32) and they fit amazingly. The cut is slim, but not overly tight. The material is the perfect thickness and seems to be of excellent quality, with a slight stretchiness to it. They are slightly softer than most denim pants I have worn. I am finding that they are great for both business casual settings with a button-up shirt and more informal "dress down" type situations with a t-shirt and sneakers. This is probably my favorite pair of jeans that I have gotten in at least a few years, and I would highly recommend overall.

Soft, comfortable fitting jeans
Size: 30W x 30L, Color: Black Rinse
Good quality and a great slim fit, but a bit expensive for a blend. Since they aren’t 100% cotton, they have a slight stretch that makes them more comfortable and softer than standard jeans. I’m happy with the look and feel, but I’ll have to see how they hold up over time.

Very nice and would highly recommend!
Size: 32W x 30L, Color: Medium Grey
The fit is exactly what I was looking for, slim without being too tight, and it fits true to size, so I get that modern look but still feel comfortable sitting or walking around all day. The denim feels soft yet sturdy, which makes me confident it’ll hold up well over time.
I also love the classic 5-pocket design. It’s functional and keeps my essentials handy without adding bulk. The color holds up after a few washes, and there’s minimal fading so far, which is a big plus for me. Pairing these pants with a casual tee or a button-down is effortless, they easily transition from work to weekend vibes.
For the price and quality, I feel like these are a solid addition to my wardrobe. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a slim, comfortable, and versatile pair of jeans.
