The academic book "Aura and Auratization" offers a comprehensive analysis of the concept of aura and its historical development. The authors Ulrich Johannes Beil, Cornelia Herberichs, and Marcus Sandl illuminate various approaches and perspectives that engage with the aura in art and media studies. The contributions range from medieval auratization to poetry and film history, as well as their influence on the perception of aura. Notably, the historical references to significant figures such as Hildegard of Bingen and the critical examination of the role of aura in the modern media landscape are emphasized. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersections of art, history, and media.
