Walter Benjamin Discussion Questions

1. How can we better describe the "aura" that Benjamin is concerned with? Why is the aura so important when talking about art?

2. Benjamin makes an interesting point when he talks about the usefulness of film in the realm of science. What other ways does technology combine art and science?
