Summary:This essay approaches the mythical and political dimension of the window figure is some works by Walter Benjamin relating certain childhood passages in Berlin by 1900 where the experience of the look through the window works as an analogy trigger with its elucubrations around Baudelaire’s work as well as its observations around the architecture of Parisian sceneries by the end of the XIX century. This path clears up a hypothesis according to which the look experience through the window would represent itself as the archaic form of a threshold that the look behind the shop window transform in ruins.
