​

​Fi McClurg's article 'Reconsidering Walter Benjamin's Aura in relation to 'A Short History of Photography', 1931. Inn this article, Fi posits the notion that a reconsideration of Benjamin's aura within a contemporary contextual framework, does not seek to chronicle the literal development of the photographic medium but rather charts the consequences of the development of photography on the concept of art and photography's position in the art world.
