Walter Benjamin, Photography, ProducerAbstract
The current article focuses on the approach to Walter Benjamin’s theory of the author as producer, narrowing it down to the case of photography. In the attempt to both expanding and testing Benjamin’s theory, the article speculates through an approach ranging from philosophy to visual culture proposing, at its end, a photographic principle in tune with Benjamin’s theory.
