This collection features a range of essays exploring the concept of synesthesia and its cultural significance. Contributions include discussions on Benjamin's auratic conception, the relationship between aura and expression, and the role of art as a form of social memory and unconscious historiography. The authors examine the mediations of reality through Kant's regulative ideas, while also addressing the philosophical implications of remembrance. The interplay between imagery and concepts of organic and mental synergy is analyzed, alongside a semiotic re-evaluation of synesthesia as both a physiological diagnosis and an artistic practice. The integration of transmodal experiences is discussed, highlighting synesthesia as a paradigm. Other essays delve into the connections between migraine aura, artistic inspiration, and musical mimesis, framing expression as both a mask and apparition. The exploration extends to the enjoyment of wine through synesthetic experiences and the impact of art production in a post-auratic age. Finally, the collection reflects on the sacredness of the immanent and the responses of popular culture to globalization, offering a multifaceted perspective on synesthesia as a vital cultural phenomenon.
