Salvador Cuenca, associate lecturer of the Department of Sociology of Philosophy at the Universitat Jaume I, will deliver the lecture "Phenomenology of aura: Ovid and Petrarch, Baudelaire and Benjamin" at the University of Berkeley in the United States.

The aim of this presentation is to show the relationship between evergreen bay leaves and the concept of aura coined by Walter Benjamin. Cuenca will use for that a methodology based on Hegelian phenomenology, which enables us to link the realm of nature and the sphere of culture or *field of spirit* (*Geist*).

The lecture will be divided in four stages: 1) the quality of perennity of bay leaves, 2) the symbol of Daphne according to Ovid's *Metamorphoses*, 3) the summit of poetic aura with Petrarch's *Laura* and the decay with Baudelaire's "Perte d'auréole", and 4) Benjamin's abstract concept of aura.
