The emergence of the image as an unavoidable focus of reflection in the contemporary context was undoubtedly driven by the emergence of new digital media. Cameras, mobile phones, chats, and many other devices seem to confirm this while we witness - in parallel - an endless appeal and search for the sensorial experience of its users, from mobile phones and \"touch\" tablets, game consoles that involve the use of the players' bodies, to virtual reality.<\/p>\n In the contemporary context, have our attitudes towards images changed? Images of hundreds of hands, tears and fingers trying to reach the blanket that covered the saint, his blood or a finger, are replicated in countless current scenarios, with similar behaviours. Mobile phones that capture the passage of the saint, the miraculous image or the relic are common and repeated presences in sanctuaries. The number of sanctuaries - both official and popular devotions - grows day by day and allows us to attend practices common to all: touching, crying, kissing, photographing. But also virtual sanctuaries, in which images do not seem to lose their auratic charge. The miraculous image seems to be implacably linked to sensory experience, and peculiarly, to touch, even when it is digital<\/p>\n In this project we focus particularly on one type of images \u2013 miraculous ones \u2013 and on one type of behavior in particular \u2013 the act of touching, which involves not only the relationship between touch and sight but also new questions regarding the concept of aura, presence, similarity, body and virtuality, which make up the history of images in the West.<\/p>\n Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
