BONI, Paulo César  and  ROMAGNOLLI PERES, Tatiana. The Place of Photography in the Construction of Work by Aby Warburg: A Cultural Perspective for Understanding Images. Palabra Clave [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.3, pp.650-675. ISSN 0122-8285.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2015.18.3.2.

This study aims to discuss the relations raised between the photographic production and construction of the warburgian theory post-life images (Nachleben der Antike) through his atlas Mnemosyne. For that, uses the bibliographical research of authors who contribute to the elucidation of that fact, as Michaud (2013), Didi-Hub erman (2013) and Kossoy (1989). Given the fact that the creation ofphotographic panels for the approximation of the temporal relationships, Warburg reaffirms the importance of photography as a cultural and historical object. For him, the atlas focuses on the comparability ofimages in art history precisely because it uses a mobile and practical panel to establish an anthropological base. We conclude, therefore, that Warburg used and upheld in the potential of the photographic image to bring a new look that would break with the static perspective through the moving image and art.

Keywords : Aby Warburg; photography; post-life images; Atlas Aby Warburg.
