Numero monografico "Aby Warburg: His Aims and Methods"
Abstract
This work wants to underline the connection between Aby Warburg and Walter Benjamin's thought through the detections of some direct references to Aby Warburg's essay Heidnisch-antike Weissagung in Wort und Bild zu Luthers Zeiten in one of Walter Benjamin's most important early works, the Ursprung des deutschen Trauspiels. Taking off from these Warburghian quotes in Benjamin's book about the Baroque drama we will try to take a glimpse of the legacy that Warburg's thought would develop in Walter Benjamin's subsequent reflection on the relationship between historical time and image
