Zusammenfassung:This article offers an exposition of Paul de Man’s theory of allegory developed in his essay ‘The Rhetoric of Temporality’. It discusses this theorisation of allegory, informed by Walter Benjamin’s writings on allegory, as key to understanding the critique of ‘the aesthetic ideology’ that preoccupies de Man’s late work and considers its role in what Jacques Derrida referred to as its ‘materialist signature’. This article addresses this materialism in one of the three registers in which it appears in de Man’s work on aesthetics and ideology, the ‘materiality of history’, and seeks to illuminate the counter-intuitive and complex character of this materialism by referring to the Marxist tradition and de Man’s unfinished engagement with it.
