URENA SOTO, Omar J.. The Walter Benjamin's Chessboard: An interpretation of the thesis I about the concept of history. Humanidades [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.1, pp.262-275. ISSN 2215-3934.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/h.v13i1.53088.

This paper analyzes the thesis I About the concept of history of Walter Benjamin in relation with the theory of fetichism of the merchandise and provides an integrated interpretation on the subject developed by Michael Löwy, Enrique Dussel and Franz Hinkelammert. The interpretation is primarily focused on an object which almost no attention has been given in an image offered to us by Benjamin: The image of the chessboard where''Historical Materialism” has always triumphed. This essay holds that one of the fundamental elements to understand how to conceive''history against the grain” is, who is the loser in front the chessboard? The question has an intention to go out of the objects that Benjamin presents in this text and show an interpretative key for an overview of this thesis.
