10. A selected bibliography of the works about or in response to your theorist. One Way Street was Walter Benjamin's first effort to break out of the narrow confines of the academy and apply the techniques of literary studies to life as it is currently lived. For Benjamin criticism surrounds the ordinary objects of life, the texts of the time, films that are in current release, and the fleeting concerns of the public sphere. The Author as Producer represents one extreme of the spectrum of Benjamin’s positions. Benjamin attempts to use his knowledge developed in the context of historical research to entirely create a new political relationship of author – work – audience. Edward Fuchs: Collector and Historian documents Benjamin’s particular attitude towards the past. Focusing on special details for a projected future including events, products and lives that rupture the line of progress. He used this piece to advertise the principles of his project of the history of modernity. The essay clearly advocates the practice of historical materialism. The Origin of German Tragedy failed to earn Benjamin a place in the academic hierarchy. His father then refused to continue supporting him. It still became Benjamin's most sustained and original work and is one of the main sources of literary modernism in the twentieth century. Its about the theoretical nature of art in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
