Numero monografico "Aby Warburg: His Aims and Methods"
Abstract
The Dialectics of Denkraum is the presentation of the book by Clio Nicastro, La dialettica del Denkraum in Aby Warburg, published by Palermo University Press. The volume investigates the concept of Denkraum der Besonnenheit as “the name of the constellations of methods, concept, forms of expression, and personal challenges that distinguish Aby Warburg’s research programme”. Along with a Foreword by the author and an Afterword by Salvatore Todesco, the book is divided in four chapters: 1. The Shifting Boundaries of the Denkraum der Besonnenheit; 2. The Corporeal Roots of Sophrosyne; 3. The Hospitalization in Bellevue; 4. Table C: An Elliptical Space for Reflection.
