Against Progress: The Village, Walter Benjamin, and Neoliberal Communities

I take a close look at The Village, communities, disability, and violence in this video essay. Specifically, I consider The Village in the context of Walter Benjamin’s landmark 1940 essay, “On the Concept of History”, also known as “Theses on the Philosophy of History”, which proposes a new analysis of historical materialism (maybe). Spoiler info: This video contains major spoilers for the entire plot of The Village. In the "Coda" section, there are also a few spoilers for some other Shyamalan films, namely The Sixth Sense (first scene) and Unbreakable (ending of the movie). Split is mentioned but not really spoiled. Resources used for this video essay: The Village (2004; dir. M. Night Shyamalan) “On the Concept of History” by Walter Benjamin (1940) Community by Zygmunt Bauman (2000) The Inoperative Community by Jean-Luc Nancy (1986) The Sixth Sense (1999; dir. M.
