The present study goes through the main texts written by Walter Benjamin between the years of 19 13 and 19 18. The intention is to identify the primary form of some elements that would be the base for the Benjaminian History Theory through the years. However, this study is not more than a first step in this direction. The objective is to list the main concepts of his early writings not to give it a final form, but to create a panoramic view of the ideas configuration in which they were formed. The text is composed of two parts. In the first one we try to present the History Theory and the Culture Criticism as inseparable. This dependence would be done through the idea of interruption that crosses, explicitly or implicitly, a11 Benjamin's writing of that period connecting the reflections about Politics and History to the ones about the different ways of the time and culture representation. In the second part we deal with the relations between time and language, mainly between language, experience and theory of knowledge, using three small Benjamin's texts. The expectation is that, in the end, we have produced a route that offers the reader an image of the History Theory that Benjamin projected in the early years of his philosophical and literary activit y.
