Walter Benjamin and the past disassociating with present

In early childhood in Berlin, Walter Benjamin in 1900, he applied various concepts of past, present, and future in a timely manner. These concepts are emphasized in his episode: "Victory Column", "Phone" and "Butterfly Hunting". Benjamin tried to plant his writing with a different time structure than traditional time. He regards history as part of the moment, and each moment is the whole, it makes it equal to the present (knight). Benjamin also pointed out that ignoring the past and focusing on the future will have a harmful effect on nature (Knight).

Douglas Rushkoff wrote about the separation of time under technocratic capitalism in the 2013 book "Present Shock". He believes that we are addicted to plausible circumstances and we can not tie our present moment with the past. "Realistic living is done in more RAM - the active memory of the actual process The transition from historic sense to realism is sought to move our consciousness from hard drive to RAM 100 years ago, Walter Benjamin's childhood in Berlin also analyzed the attachment of capitalism to the present around 1900 and sacrificed memories, nostalgia, and memories of the past. Benjamin wants to call it ... now it is "recognizability" - the importance of what seems to have been buried for a long time can only be recognized afterwards.

The assumption about the future of art seems to arise frequently from the premise of the interaction between the current art and the nature of art transfer. Walter Benjamin's writing world is struggling to resolve the Great Depression, but it is impossible to know that capitalism arises from the world's economic debris (at least for a while) somewhat restrained is. Likewise, Benjamin could not imagine a creative effort everywhere in the late 20th and early 21st century.

What Walter Benjamin needs is called "the existence of the mind." Benjamin wrote that since people were afraid that he would not pay attention to the present important aspects, people are unlikely to visit a fortune teller for their understanding of the future. "The existence of the soul is the abstraction of the future, understanding the current moment accurately is more decisive than predicting the furthest event," he said. In American society then, understanding the moment accurately must understand the dialogue. The existence and destructive impact of ownership of investment by human beings. This implicitly affects public and private life. "
