The Aura of Remembering
Original language description
Abstract ?What served in place of the photograph, before the camera?s invention? The expected answer is the engraving, the drawing, the painting. The more revealing answer might be: memory. What photographs do out there in space was previously done withreflection.? John Berger: About Looking, 1980. In my presentation, I follow ways of transposition and appropriation of Benjamin?s notions of reproduction and especially aura in a new media discourse. The ways in which Walter Benjamin?s concepts are transferred into the new media discourse will be illustrated by the question of translation understood as a result of relocation and by characteristics of the field of digital media memory, which is replacing historical knowledge and awareness. I claim that the aura of the artwork has not disappeared even as categories like original and copy have lost their relevance in the age of digital media, but it has transformed itself and has become part of new creative methods as are re-enactments.
