I am also in need of other
writings, on the 'transformative' quality of cinema, that are useful to put
alongside Benjamin.
Not sure exactly what you mean here, but if it's of any help, a great essay on
Benjamin's notion of the aura and the media and how it might be understood today
is Sam Weber's 'Mass Mediauras' in the book of the same title (ie. Mass
Mediauras: Form, Technics, Media).
