The book "one-way street" is characterized by its very small capacity,which compresses great significance.The author tries to study the aesthetic modernity thought of Walter Benjamin through his cultural fragment theory presented in the book "one-way street".Based on today's rapidly developing modern urban society,Walter Benjamin's "one-way street" aesthetic modernity research has theoretical reference significance.Aesthetic modernity belongs to the category of modernity,and it often forms an opposite stance with it.The aesthetic modernity under the view of "one-way street" is influenced by Baudelaire,and Walter Benjamin's understanding of modernity has the characteristics of "transition","short" and "accidental",which determines the perspective and instantaneous grasp of the standers in the "one-way street",and finally points to the modern western metropolis with the background of the Weimar empire.he conclusion of the last part again looked at from the dimension of aesthetic modernity reconstruction Benjamin "one-way street" research context,points out that the "one-way stree" research is still suitable for the modern urbanization,and provide some ideas for its enlightenment and reflection.The aesthetic modernity of Walter Benjamin's "one-way street" is divided into three parts: the fragment style of modern writing;the time and space view of anti modernity;the poor modern experience.The method of fragment writing involves the theory of "ruins" and the montage of surrealism.In essence,the view of the time and space of anti modernity is to realize the transcendence of space by retelling of dreams,and arriving at the original memory with a broken time view;the poor modern experience presents the abandonment of the modern city to the tradition and the unreliability of the modern experience.The political impulse of the aesthetic modernity of Walter Benjamin's "one-way street" is focused on "the secular enlightenment" of "surrealism",andfrom Walter Benjamin's Marx ethical concern,to explore the political appeal of one-way street.Walter Benjamin,taking the "one-way street" as the aesthetic carrier,based on the realistic foundation of the Republic of Weimar in Germany,tries to reach the criticism of the reason of enlightenment,and reveals the political intention in this criticism.The one-way street reflection of modernity reflects its contemporary application in modern urbanization.
