“…Benjamin with examples of "the de-individualizing effect of mechanical reproduction, namely the […] triumph of normative representation." 55 Yet, as Duttlinger shows, "although the Kafka portrait appears to support Benjamin's historical narrative about the loss of a photographic aura, this argument is immediately undermined when Benjamin describes Kafka's image as a pendant to its earlier, auratic predecessors," 56 and he does so by focusing on Kafka's "immeasurable sad eyes." As Duttlinger argues, "Kafka's eyes […] resist the picture's restrictive conventions.…”

“…Their melancholy gaze invests the image with an element of individuality and immediacy which punctures its formulaic arrangement." 57 39 For Benjamin, therefore, "the experience of the aura is centered on the gaze, that element which establishes a connection between viewer and sitter." 58 This motif can still be found in his text "On Some Motifs in Baudelaire," even though the daguerreotype now seems divested of the inherent capacity to preserve an aura that he had granted it with in "Little History of Photography":…”

photo chief Roberto Schmidt took a photograph of Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt making a selfie with U.S. President Barack Obama and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron. The image tweeted by the AFP newswire went viral and spurred an intense debate internationally in the media 1 on the use and misuse of selfies, soon nicknamed Selfiegate. Breaking away from "discourses of pathology" 2 favored by many news articles on the general phenomenon of selfies, academic approaches have emerged, studying selfies through the lenses of information and communications studies, cultural studies, digital humanities, sociology of social practices, and aesthetics. Codirecting a special section of the International Journal of Communication (2015) under the banner "Studying Selfies," Nancy K. Baym, focused with Kate M. Miltner on the American, British and Danish news coverage of the "Selfiegate" in "The Selfie of the Year of the Selfie: Reflections on a Media Scandal." Their analysis of the news media discourse 3 shaping the scandal and moral-cum-technological panic sparked by the event uncovered lingering race and gender biases as well as multiple cultural shifts and anxieties about technology, leadership, changing social mores and norms, or the evolution of journalism in the age of social media.

Based on the basic thought of industrialized building, one prefabricated external thermal insulation system (ETIS) with point supported horizontal keel was designed in this paper. Bad support was fastened on the structural wall and horizontal keel was fastened on bed support. Then panel was fixed on horizontal keel by interdigitated cards and moreover thermal insulation material was fastened on the structural wall independently. ETIS has the ability to adjust the three-dimension and angle. The installation of panel could not only be invisible, but also be disassembled independently. The test result indicated that weathering resistance could meet the requirements of relevant standards and the maxima of wind resistance could be up to -6300Pa. In addition, panel deformation performance, air impermeability and water tightness could reach grade 5, grade 4 and grade 5, respectively.
