O Narrador sem aura ou pensando a reprodutibilidade oral em Benjamin

This is a study of Walter Benjamin's essay "The storyteller" starting from the concept of the aura, as it was developed by the same author in his essay "The Work of Art in the Age of its Mechanical Reproductibility". We try to show that the polarity between distance and nearness, which distinguishes the auratical work of art from the nonauratical, is also determinant for Benjamin' s view of the oral story.
