Image, history and montage:

some points of intersection between the work of Aby Warburg and the cinema

Abstract

The works of Aby Warburg present elements for the approaches to cultural history that are still disruptive today. My intention is to explore possible contributions of Warburg’s thought to the analysis of the audiovisual image. To do this I will study from his theoretical-methodological matrix with the guidance of two authors who draw on it: on the one hand, Philippe-Alain Michaud, with his original study of movement in Warburg and in the cinema and on the other hand, Georges Didi-Huberman, whose reflections on anachronisms and a thought montage are of my interest.
