O livro é uma contribuição à história do pensamento urbanístico e suas tradições. A obra se constrói por meio da montagem, operação que permite criar oposições, fricções e incongruências, na qual a impureza é o grande libelo conceitual, ao lado da busca incessante da alteridade. Nesse labirinto, tensiona-se pensamento e argumento, instigando suas possibilidades e limites. Trata-se de um livro dedicado aos vários outros deserdados da história oficial do movimento moderno em arquitetura e urbanismo, evidenciando que uma herança, qualquer herança, é sempre uma montagem, uma construção, e que essa herança que a autora buscou montar é apenas uma entre várias outras possíveis.

Aby Warburg is best known as the originator of the discipline of iconology and as the founder of the institute that bears his name. This text shows that Warburg's own project was remote from any positivist or neo-Kantian ambitions.

À quiconque s’interroge sur le rôle des images dans notre connaissance de l’histoire, l’atlas Mnémosyne apparaît comme une œuvre-phare, un véritable moment de rupture épistémologique. Composé - mais constamment démonté, remonté – par Aby Warburg entre 1924 et 1929, il ouvre un nouveau chapitre dans ce qu’on pourrait nommer, à la manière de Michel Foucault, une archéologie du savoir visuel. C’est une enquête « archéologique », en effet, qu’il aura fallu mener pour comprendre la richesse inépuisable de cet atlas d’images qui nous fait voyager de Babylone au XXe siècle, de l’Orient à l’Occident, des astra les plus lointains (constellations d’idées) aux monstra les plus proches (pulsions viscérales), des beautés de l’art aux horreurs de l’histoire. Ce livre raconte, par un montage de « gros plans » plutôt que par un récit continu, les métamorphoses d’Atlas – ce titan condamné par les dieux de l’Olympe à ployer indéfiniment sous le poids du monde – en atlas, cette forme visuelle et synoptique de connaissance dont nous comprenons mieux, aujourd’hui, depuis Gerhard Richter ou Jean-Luc Godard, l’irremplaçable fécondité. On a donc tenté de restituer la pensée visuelle propre à Mnémosyne : entre sa première planche, consacrée à l’antique divination dans les viscères, et sa dernière, hantée par la montée du fascisme et de l’antisémitisme dans l’Europe de 1929. Entre les deux, nous aurons croisé les Disparates selon Goya et les « affinités électives » selon Goethe, le « gai savoir » selon Nietzsche et l’inquiétude chantée dans les Lieder de Schubert, l’image selon Walter Benjamin et les images d’August Sander, la « crise des sciences européennes » selon Husserl et le « regard embrassant » selon Wittgenstein. Sans compter les paradoxes de l’érudition et de l’imagination chers à Jorge Luis Borges. Œuvre considérable de voir et de savoir, le projet de Mnémosyne trouve également sa source dans une réponse d’Aby Warburg aux destructions de la Grande Guerre. Non content de recueillir les Disparates du monde visible, il s’apparente donc à un recueil de Désastres où nous trouvons, aujourd’hui encore, matière à repenser – à remonter, poétiquement et politiquement – la folie de notre histoire.

The work of German cultural theorist and art historian Aby Warburg (1866-1929) has had a lasting effect on how we think about images. This book is the first in English to focus on his last project, the encyclopedic Atlas of Images: Mnemosyne. Begun in earnest in 1927, and left unfinished at the time of Warburg's death in 1929, the Atlas consisted of sixty-three large wooden panels covered with black cloth. On these panels Warburg carefully, intuitively arranged some thousand black-and-white photographs of classical and Renaissance art objects, as well as of astrological and astronomical images ranging from ancient Babylon to Weimar Germany. Here and there, he also included maps, manuscript pages, and contemporary images taken from newspapers. Trying through these constellations of images to make visible the many polarities that fueled antiquity's afterlife, Warburg envisioned the Atlas as a vital form of metaphoric thought.While the nondiscursive, frequently digressive character of the Atlas complicates any linear narrative of its themes and contents, Christopher D. Johnson traces several thematic sequences in the panels. By drawing on Warburg's published and unpublished writings and by attending to Warburg's cardinal idea that "pathos formulas" structure the West's cultural memory, Johnson maps numerous tensions between word and image in the Atlas. In addition to examining the work itself, he considers the literary, philosophical, and intellectual-historical implications of the Atlas. As Johnson demonstrates, the Atlas is not simply the culmination of Warburg's lifelong study of Renaissance culture but the ultimate expression of his now literal, now metaphoric search for syncretic solutions to the urgent problems posed by the history of art and culture.
