Methodology paper

Given that the Arcades Project only reveals itself through close reading and a parsing of the various levels of meaning and implications that arise from particular passages and citations, not to mention that the book is in many respects an interrogation of the idea of methodology itself at its core, wouldn't it be advisable to have a paper on methodology arise organically out of a close reading of one or perhaps two passages, following their "trace" as it seems intended to be followed (not an insignificant part of the method), going into a discussion of great detail to the point that generalities not only are approached and articulated about how Benjamin engages in historical discourse but how they allow writing on methodology to transform itself into a complementary living text, one that strives to present itself as an authentic treatment of how methodology functions, as is illuminated by the Arcades Project? This does not mean that we'd be busily mimicking Benjamin's book but that we would strive to learn from it, and at the very least in all good faith avoid the pitfalls that it seems clearly to point out.
