JMB Book Club on Walter Benjamin’s One-Way Street
As Part of the Exhibition "Between the Lines" (in German)
Read Along!
“The technique of One-Way Street is akin to that of a player. Not least in this lies the shocking nature of the book,” writes Theodor W. Adorno about the genre-transcending collection of thoughts by his friend Walter Benjamin. As one of the sources of inspiration for Daniel Libeskind’s design of the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB), we are now taking a fresh look at Benjamin’s 1928 work.
With titles such as Gas Station (German original title Tankstelle), Breakfast Room (Frühstücksstube), Excavation Works (Tiefbauarbeiten), Hairdresser for Fastidious Ladies (Coiffeur für penible Damen), or Stamp Shop (Briefmarkenhandlung), Benjamin creates in his fragments, sketches, and aphorisms a philosophical landscape composed of vivid, broken pieces.
In conversation with media scholar Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky and Monika Sommerer, head of the JMB Library, together we will explore Walter Benjamin’s fragmentary world of images in this key text of literary modernism.
