This paper seeks to understand the relationship between the poverty of experiences and the collapse of auratic narratives, based on Walter Benjamin s perspective. In this direction, we analyze experiences ranging from those that contribute to the generation of unity of meaning and a sense of community to those that isolate and dehumanize us. The aforementioned decline in community experience is aggravated by technological development, interfering in both the personal and professional spheres. Regarding the changes in social relations in modernity, we question how we are in relation to oral tradition and intergenerational relations, seen as essential in narrative art. In seeking to understand the elements that contribute to the atrophy of narrative art, we identify the advent of the novel and, later, the flow of information, which is leveraged by the press in Walter Benjamin s time and by the Internet today. In this context, Storytelling emerges as an efficient communication technique, but it lacks meaning and guidance. Thus, with the loss of auratic experiences, something more decisive is at stake, that is, our capacity for connection and, ultimately, humanity itself. Therefore, with a view to overcoming the tradition-modernity crisis and developing the revival of narrative art, we approach the component of distance as essential in the exchange of experiences and learning. With this, we also emphasize attentive listening and looking combined with a mystical, magical and extraordinary experience as inspirations for the construction of meaningful and genuine narratives.
