Davide Luglio, « Decay of the Aura and Finding of the Sacred. Benjamin and Pasolini, Two Theories of Cinema Compared », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10.19272/201902601006
· The work compares the analysis of cinema proposed by Walter Benjamin in The Work of Art in the Age of its Technological Reproducibility with Pasolini’s theory of cinema. The aim is to show that if Pasolini never mentions Benjamin’s book, despite the success he had since the second half of the 1960s, it is at least partly due to the fact that he presents a conception of cinema diametrically opposed to Pasolini’s. For Benjamin, cinema is a demon-stration of the decay of the cultual value (aura) of the work of art linked to the evolution of perception in mass society. On the contrary, Pasolini tries to make cinema a classical, cultual form of art that represents, as such, a form of resistance to mass reality.
