That are made in Benjamin’s book
1. Does the bold section mean "a link nevertheless exists between a. the call for a socially relevant art, and b. the advocacy of popular forms of representation and the more active engagement of the reader"?
2. Does "that are made in Benjamin’s The Author as Producer" only refer to "b. the advocacy of popular forms of representation and the more active engagement of the reader" in the above question?
Context:
And, although Kruger denies a direct connection between her work and that of the Constructivists, a link nevertheless exists in the call for a socially relevant art and in the advocacy of popular forms of representation and the more active engagement of the ‘reader’ that are made in Benjamin’s ‘The Author as Producer’.Top answer
I'm not familiar with Kruger, Constructivism, or Benjamin, but just based on what is said in the text, this apparently means that the themes in Kruger's book are similar to those in Benjamin's: art should be socially relevant (that is, "real"); situations presented should relate to real life ("popular forms of representation"); and readers should be able to relate to what is depicted, because it is similar to real life. " is a rather unusual construction grammatically - edgy, bordering on being ungrammatical - and means: a link exists between what is said by Benjamin and what is said by Kruger.
