Abstract

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) was philosopher and cultural and literary critic. In 1936, he wrote the essay titled "The Work of Art in the Age of its Mechanical Reproduction". This essay has had a profound influence on the approaches to art. His main concern was the change in the nature of the art in virtue of its technical reproducibility. Mass reproducibility transformed both of the art reception and the impact of ARTWORKs. The change in the impact of ARTWORKs on the audiences is due to the substitution of the RITUAL FUNCTION with exhibitional function. Benjamin believes that, which disappears in the age of mechanical reproduction is the "aura" of the ARTWORK. Mechanical reproduction in PHOTOGRAPHY and FILM has completed this process in which the AURA slowly disappears. He maintains that, this new experience alters the concept of art itself and recoils the function in favor of political and social behaviors; to say exactly, SOCIAL FUNCTION of art has changed from ritual to political one. He believed that, there is a hidden force in reproductive ARTWORK in present age which can function against TRADITION.
