Benjamids in more than mere nuances. In his Kierkegaard book, Adorno equated the dialectical image with allegory, and later he also seems to liken it to phantasmago ria (see N5,2, and 5:1136). Benjamin characterized Adorno's definition of the "antin omy of appearance and meaning" as "fundamental" for both allegory and phantasmagoria, but he found it "confusing" in its application to the "dialectical image" (1:1174) . The difference might be found in the cOlmection Belamin made between the dialectical image and elements of messianism-a cOlmection to which Adorno, the more scrupulous Marxist, could not accede. One may try to put it this way: the phantasmagorias of the arcade or the collector as such are not dialectical images in Benjamin's sense; both the arcades and the collector become dialectical linages only when the historical materialist decip/urs them as phantasmagorias. But in Benjamin's opinion, the key that allows the historical materialist to unlock the code remains connected to the discovery of a messianic force in history (see 1:1232). 24.
