Research paper thumbnail of The Performativity of the Classical According to Warburg: Pathosformeln and Memory in Renaissance Festivals

SKENÈ Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies, 2024

The purpose of this article is to examine the performative aspect implicitly embedded in Warburg'... more The purpose of this article is to examine the performative aspect implicitly embedded in Warburg's thinking about Renaissance festivals, starting with the formulation of the term Pathosformel introduced in the text Dürer and Italian Antiquity (1905). Here Warburg identifies Poliziano's Fabula di Orfeo as "the first Italian tragedy" and complements and extends the insights from the essay Costumi teatrali per gli intermezzi del 1589 (1895). The lessons of Burkhardt and Nietzsche played a crucial role in shaping Warburg's understanding of intermedi as a form of transition between art and reality, as opposed to theatre, which is based on words and text. These intermedi are characterised by their high expressive mimicry qualities, and they are embryonic forms of the new art to come, which is accompanied by an implicit tragic element. Warburg shifts from mimetic models associated with iconology to a study of art history where he focuses on the creative principle as the tragic matrix of the artistic act. This allows him to integrate performative themes more effectively within the cultural understanding of art.

Performing arts e dialogo interculturale " A venti anni dalla Convenzione UNESCO per la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Culturale Immateriale, 2023

The reflection focuses particularly on the case of the play Xajoj Tun Rabinal Achí by the indigenous Quebec company Ondinnok, which in 2010 staged in Montreal a theatrical reworking from the 15th-century Guatemalan Mayan drama Rabinal Achí, which predates the Hispanic colonial conquest and was declared in 2005 by UNESCO to be one of the masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity.

Research paper thumbnail of Opéra et théâtre en dialogue. La question de l'appropriation culturelle dans la création opératique contemporaine

Les acquis des études sur le théâtre et la performance suggèrent des pistes de réflexion qui trouvent une application fructueuse dans le contexte de l'opéra. Le rapport entre présence et représentation et la relation interculturelle au coeur de la rencontre qui nourrit des projets de recherche-création sont les deux axes du dialogue qui donne corps à l'article, ouvrant une perspective décoloniale. La réalité artistique du Québec, évoquée à travers les cas de la polémique contre les spectacles SLĀV et Kanata de Robert Lepage et l'exemple du Rabinal Achí d'Ondinnok, constitue ici un horizon à partir duquel considérer les enjeux posés par les nouvelles formes d'expression technologiques dans le domaine de l'opéra.

Research paper thumbnail of L’affaire Lepage. Rappresentazione e presenza nello scenario della polemica su SLĀV e Kanata

Favouring the lens of Performances Studies, the polemic, as a symptom of a social malaise, is studied as a performance and reveals a scenario of embodied imaginaries within which to observe a crisis of the worldview built on the power relationship between a majority identity and minority otherness. The conflict between representation and presence within the living arts reveals the erosion of the mimetic paradigm of representation: it is the immanent body on the stage of the actor belonging to a historically oppressed minority that demands an ethics of representation.

The Orestea (una commedia organica?) by R. Castelluci and Societas Raffaello Sanzio, restaged at Paris Automne Festival in 2015, twenty years after its 1995 world premiere in Prato, is the starting point to reflect on the status of restaging in the theatre. This case study is the occasion to apply W. Benjamin’s philosophical concept of the Jetztzeit to a theatrical context, and to consider also the ‘citational’ value of theatrical re-enactment. These concepts are useful to study not only the re-enactment of the theatrical gest and acting (on which B. Brecht and also W. Benjamin are concerned), but also to consider the practice of re-staging related to the theatrical event conceived in its entirety.

This track follows a postural formula that qualifies various figures that are displayed in the Atlas panels, as a specific expressive brand: a head, a face leaning on the hand. This is the posture that characterizes the enigmatic central figure of one of the better known engravings of the Renaissance: the Melencolia I by Albrecht D\ufcrer. The gallery proposed here, and that crisscrosses through all the Atlas panels, shows a gestural and postural link that connects different figures, male and female, according to precise tangent lines and marked by a well-defined position: the hand to the face, committed to support the weight of the head, as if the point where the face finds support is the precise place where the gravity of the body posture in an act of contrition or neglect is channeled most insistently, almost free-falling, be ...

In particular, the concept of function that emerges from Cassirer’s early volume, Substance and Function (1910), can be applied to the analysis of the compositional principle that gives shape to the architecture of Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas.

Research paper thumbnail of Simbolica del cerchio-­ellisse: l'«amicizia stellare» Warburg-­Cassirer

The author analyses how the Cassirer’s concept of “symbolic form” and the Warburg’s conception that took shape in the Bilderatlas Mnemosyne are deeply linked to the interests of both for the origins of modern physics. The figure of Kepler as a “transitional figure between mythical and mathematical thought” on which they focus on their first meeting has a central role in this reflection. The author wants to demonstrate how the analysis of the theory of symbol is inseparable from the study of the theory of myth, connected to cosmological, astrological and astronomical themes. The principles that inaugurate the scientific revolution of the modern age, present in nuce in the science of physics inaugurated by Kepler, are observed in the more mature results of Einstein's theory of relativity. A theory which played an important role both in Cassirer’s theory and in Warburg’s reflections.

È proprio la convergenza d'interesse da parte delle scienze nascenti nei primi del Novecento, la (nuova) scienza dell'arte e la psicoanalisi, per la medesima igura, a risultare particolarmente signiicativa per le rilessioni sul mito. La ninfa è infatti una igura eccentrica e trasversale 2 , che attraversa discipline diferenti riproducendo la stessa trasversalità della materia mitica. La fortuna degli studi warburghiani, che ha riconosciuto nella ninfa una igura teorica fondamentale, ha indotto alcuni a riportare i contenuti espressi da Jolles nel carteggio, concentrati nella Epistula prima, al pensiero dello storico dell'arte tedesco.

Research paper thumbnail of Al di là delle colonne d'Ercole. Hillman erede infedele di Jung, Bergamo: Moretti & Vitali 2013

"Hillman erede infedele di Jung, by Daniela Sacco, published by Moretti&Vitali in January 2013 is... more "Hillman erede infedele di Jung, by Daniela Sacco, published by Moretti&Vitali in January 2013 is a monograph dedicated to the American philosopher and psychoanalyst, who passed away in October 2011.

The book analyzes James Hillman’s thinking in the light of the comparison with the predecessor Carl Gustav Jung, and in relation to the classical tradition. In particular, it describes the way in which James Hillman acquires the influence of NeoPlatonic school of thought, brought to new life during the Renaissance, and uses it to understand the contemporary psyche, and how this defines the novelty of his position in philosophy and depth psychology. Hillman heralded an epochal transformation of the boundary between consciousness and the unconscious, and the transformation of the human way of life. Distancing himself from Jung, he adopts the theory of collective unconscious archetypes, releasing it from the last stronghold of a monotheism of consciousness; he adopts Jung’s ‘pagan’ legacy, going beyond heresy with respect to Christianity, claiming back the classical tradition and the mythical discourse as logos of the psyche.

The difference between the two thinkers is focused on the analysis of the archetypal idea of Anima, introduced by Hillman. This, unlike the Junghian archetypal idea of Self, reflects in the experience of the contemporary man the shift from a Christian faith inclusive of what was historically removed, to a paganism that contains what was removed, inevitably transformed. This shift is apparent in the subversion of the relation between the particular and the universal, the single and the manifold, caused by the crumbling of the metaphysical thought marked by the transcendental ideas of identity and unity dominant in the Western culture. The whole of psychoanalysis is understood starting from the discovery of the unconscious, as a symptom of the crisis of Modernity, up to its interpretation as myth and imaginal by Hillman during the second half of the Twenty Century. The rescue of the mythical thinking, to cure the Western ‘illness’, takes place in the history of psychoanalysis that, ushered in by Freud with the discovery of disturbed mental images, finds with Hillman the announcement of its possible ending, when the images are given back to the aisthesis, to the phenomenal perception of the world, by means of the notion of Anima mundi. Hillman’s ideas are also considered in regard to the elective affinity with the life and thinking of Aby Warburg, and in regard to the concept of Mnemosyne, the old meaning of memory. "

Brecht worked at the translation alongside the actor who was to play Galileo, Charles Laughton. Brecht knew little English and Laughton didn't know any German at all. But they managed because, together with the translation carried out by Brecht, Laughton "acted everything over and over until he found the gesture" (B. Brecht, Journals, 1934-55, December 10 1945), the gest.

An understanding based on quantum theory has been established as a thermodynamical competition among point defects and cuboctahedral cluster, which naturally interprets the puzzled origin of the asymmetric O ′ and O ′′ interstitials. It also gives a clear and consistent agreement with most available experimental data. Unfortunately, the observed high occupation of O ′′ site cannot be accounted for in this picture and is still a challenge for theoretical simulations.

The philosopher shows us how “poetic polytheism” can also be extended to the tonality of theoretical thinking, and therefore involve not only the aesthetic experience, but also the ethical inclination. This is reiterated, perhaps more eloquently than in other writings, the important contribution that Hillman’s thought can offer to the consciousness of our time.

The three panels are headed by the letters A, B and C unlike the panels that follow which are identified by numbers, 1– 79. Their position and identification by number reveal that the panels are a related group, and are distinct from the other panels. Panels A, B and C prove to be an introduction to the themes contained in the Atlas as a whole, a sort of threshold leading to the labyrinth which is Mnemosyne, with all the co-ordinates for making the entire work accessible.

A "reasoned gallery of images from the Bilderatlas" in the first part of the essay that traces a route throughout Aby Warburg’s whole Atlas. This track follows a postural formula that qualifies various figures that are displayed in the Atlas panels, as a specific expressive brand: a head, a face leaning on the hand. This is the posture that characterizes the enigmatic central figure of one of the better known engravings of the Renaissance: the Melencolia I by Albrecht Dürer.
The gallery proposed here, and that crisscrosses through all the Atlas panels, shows a gestural and postural link that connects different figures, male and female, according to precise tangent lines and marked by a well-defined position: the hand to the face, committed to support the weight of the head, as if the point where the face finds support is the precise place where the gravity of the body posture in an act of contrition or neglect is channeled most insistently, almost free-falling, be it leaning against a support, or slumped, semi-lying or all-lying. In assembling the gallery, the figures are not set in chronological order according to the date of composition, but rather in a thematic-formal articulation that starts off from the posture of pondering and reflecting (SERIES I. From the pondering Muse to the posture of the humanist-intellectual), or of anguish or mourning (SERIES II. Melancholy on the stage of commiseration), accidie (SERIES III. Figures of idleness (and old-age), and abandonment (SERIES IV. Ariadne or the figures of abandonment). Each of these presents a prototypical image in ancient repertoire: the thinking Muse (I); the mourning accompanying the deceased (II), Accidie (III), Arianna (IV).

This first panel offers a general overview of the historical, geographical, and gnoseological co-ordinates of the Atlas.The panel is divided in three parts: a geographical map, representing the peregrination of images and subjects; a constellation map, representing the magico-religiuos extreme (macrocosm), and a genealogical tree of Medici-Tornabuoni family, representing human relations (microcosm).The graphic images on Panel A use models for mapping the earth and sky, and delineating genealogy. These methods do not reduce or trivialise complex thought. Rather, they serve to demonstrate that the abstract language of science lends itself perfectly to describing the interconnections of historical and cultural phenomena. All three images re-establish the potent and complex notion of the syncretic and conflictual nature of western culture derived from the peregrinations and hybridisations of the roots of classical antiquity. The images are also scattered with autobiographical signs, thus reminding us that the Atlas-machine does not aim to reconstruct an irretrievable truth from the past.

This reasoned survey of melancholy images contained in the Atlas is followed by an in-depth analysis on the theme of “Three forms of melancholy: an interpretation, from the Bilderatlas and other images”. In fact, the figures with the hand-to-face posture that you encounter in the Atlas may be divided into three groups that we have distinguished in order to map out a diagram of the analysis: Melancholy I. ex acedia; Melancholy II. ex otio; Melancholy III ex maerore. The precariousness and permeability among these typings are highlighted by the overlay of the three inclinations − sloth, thought, pain – that are present in almost all melancholic figures, especially in figures that do not allow themselves to be framed in one of the predefined categories. The sequence of images, through the highlighting of kindred relationships and of ‘nerve connections’, then offers possible further articulations – further overlays – of the tripartite scheme. The examples are taken from images that are displayed in the Atlas as well as other sources, which the Atlas-machine comes to summon.

In fact, in February of 1510 he became responsible for the distribution of the tax burden due to the Jews.

Later, in 1559 the Del Banco family decided to leave the city and move to Warburg (near Kassel in Hesse, central Germany), where they adopted the name of the city as their new last name.

250 years later, in 1798, the brothers Moses Marcus Warburg and Gerson Warburg, great-grandparents of Aby Warburg, founded the M. M. Warburg & Company Bank in Hamburg, where the family had moved in the meantime. In the 19th Century, thanks to Aby’s drive and incentive, the Warburg family will be the first sponsor of the University of Hamburg, and from the banking institution Aby will later attain the building that will become the headquarters of the city’s most prestigious Cultural Foundation.

The historical origins of the family still today greatly lack in documentation: the provenance, on which have been made only unproven speculations; the period of life in the Ghetto of Venice: the complexity of the historical, social, political, economic and cultural Venetian reality of the time; the period of stabilization in Germany and the foundation of the Bank in Hamburg.

Platone e Aristotele, Carlo Michaelstaedter e Plotino, Pavel Florenskij e Gregorio di Nazianzo, Dionigi e i Padri della Chiesa, sono tra i testimoni convocati a disputare sulla questione dell\u2019autenticit\ue0 e della falsit\ue0, della riproducibilit\ue0 e dell\u2019unicit\ue0 dell\u2019opera d\u2019arte. Le affermazioni degli illustri autori chiamati in giudizio, intrecciandosi in una articolata tessitura narrativa, danno forma a un processo che, dalla tarda antichit\ue0 ai giorni nostri, mira al vivo del tema del valore dell\u2019originale, nelle sue implicazioni filosofiche, estetiche e teologiche. Sette tappe, sette \u2018stanze\u2019 tematiche, scandiscono l\u2019articolarsi dell\u2019iter drammaturgico. Plagio e originale, mimesis e poiesis, iconofilia e iconoclastia: quattro stanze di parole, due stanze di immagini, e, nel cuore del percorso, una stanza di suoni. Le note di musica contemporanea, nella stanza centrale, fanno eco alle proiezioni di immagini eterogenee che evocano la storia inquieta delle icone di Occidente, fino alla voce ultima di Maria, la Vergine Madre di Dio.

Per mezzo del filo che soltanto la principessa sa svolgere e riavvolgere, con la grazia dei suoi passi di danza, Arianna si orienta negli intricati meandri del labirinto, e cos\uec Teseo uccide suo fratello Minotauro, il mostro frutto dei bestiali amori della madre, Pasifae, e del toro divino di Poseidone. Per amore di Teseo, Arianna tradisce la sua patria, Creta, tradisce il padre, Minosse, tradisce il fratello Minotauro. Arianna sa l\u2019amore e il tradimento. Arianna sa la partenza. Teseo, per aridit\ue0, per paura o perch\ue9 travolto dall\u2019oblio, abbandona la fanciulla cretese nell\u2019isola di Nasso. Arianna si risveglia, in una bianca alba, sola: all\u2019orizzonte, le vele spiegate della nave di Teseo che veloce fa rotta verso Atene. Arianna si agita, si dispera, rischia di rimanere pietrificata dal suo stesso dolore, ma infine piange. Arianna sa il dolore. Arianna sa il risveglio. La fanciulla cretese ha nel nome la luce del sole, nel sangue i geni divini della Grande Dea. Dioniso, imprevisto, ineffabile, risveglia Arianna dal sonno greve della disperazione e la prende con s\ue9. Il dio che viene da lontano, il dio dell\u2019oblio e dello specchio, il dio-toro, non porta rimedi consolatori alle sofferenze dell\u2019umano, ma promette una nuova, sovrumana, \u2018gaia scienza\u2019: la sapienza, insieme dolcissima e crudele, del dolore pi\uf9 profondo e della gioia pi\uf9 piena. Arianna sa il labirinto

Azione teatrale la cui ideazione nasce in concomitanza con la mostra “Figli di Marte: ABC della guerra negli atlanti di Warburg, Jünger, Brecht”. Il tema è l’afasia della guerra e l’eloquenza dell’immagine di fronte all’evento deflagrante dei conflitti mondiali, a partire da tre grandi ‘abbecedari’: le tavole A B C delBilderatlas Mnemosyne di Aby Warburg (1929), il Veränderte Welt di Ernst Jünger (1933), il Kriegsfibel di Bertolt Brecht (1933-1947).

The protagonist of the most recent, tragic, chapter in this story is a man, Khaled Al Assad, the Superintendent of Antiquities of Palmyra, murdered in August 2015, by soldiers of the IS for trying to defend the stones of "his" - our - Palmyra.

The performance, presented on the evening of December 15th, 2015 in Venice, consists of a video made on assembling materials and films published and unpublished, with embedded pieces of live music and theatrical reading of historical and literary texts. A song for Palmyra divided into eight acts. The review presents the fifth act of "Homage of Venice to Palmyra": in the video, images are intertwined with notes of live music and words from a text inspired by a Mourning Song of Venice for Constantinople (1453).

Elena rovina delle navi, dei guerrieri e delle città, o vittima di Eros e Logos? Elena tessitrice d’inganni o Elena bambina? I molteplici volti di Elena attraverso le voci delle fonti antiche e le parole di chi l’ha accusata e difesa. In un avvicendamento di toni e figure contrastanti, la figura di Elena si svela mostrando i molti volti della sua seduzione, la sua multiforme bellezza. Una, due, tre, molte Elene, colpevoli o vittime, innocenti o infami per colpa o per destino. Palinodia è il canto della ritrattazione, che smentisce ciò che è stato detto e, svelando, smaschera la natura plurale delle figure del mito.

Incipit comoedia. L’azione teatrale prende avvio da un dibattito giudiziario di cui è stata protagonista un’icona del nostro tempo: nel 2003 la popstar Madonna – accusata di plagio per un suo videoclip – invoca come argomento a sua difesa il ricorso alla citazione. Ma può il ricorso alla citazione scagionare dall’accusa di plagio? Come distinguere l’uso lecito dall’uso illecito di opere originali? Quale valore dare all’imitazione, quale il limite di definizione tra imitazione, riproduzione e contraffazione? Sono interrogativi che obbligano ad andare alla radice della questione. Platone e Aristotele, Carlo Michaelstaedter e Plotino, Pavel Florenskij e Gregorio di Nazianzo, Dionigi e i Padri della Chiesa, sono tra i testimoni convocati a disputare sulla questione dell’autenticità e della falsità, della riproducibilità e dell’unicità dell’opera d’arte.

Le affermazioni degli illustri autori chiamati in giudizio, intrecciandosi in una articolata tessitura narrativa, danno forma a un processo che, dalla tarda antichità ai giorni nostri, mira al vivo del tema del valore dell’originale, nelle sue implicazioni filosofiche, estetiche e teologiche.

Sette tappe, sette ‘stanze’ tematiche, scandiscono l’articolarsi dell’iter drammaturgico. Plagio e originale, mimesis e poiesis, iconofilia e iconoclastia: quattro stanze di parole, due stanze di immagini, e, nel cuore del percorso, una stanza di suoni.

Calipso e Penelope, Elena e Clitemnestra, Andromaca ed Ermione, Medea e Circe, coppie di eroine amorose – donne mortali e dee immortali, le cui vite si sono intrecciate per il fatale incontro con un uomo, un eroe.
Calipso, ninfa del desiderio, ricorda, con rimpianto e nostalgia, Ulisse che per “sette brevissimi anni” accolse e tenne con sé nella sua isola ai confini del mondo. Lo stesso Ulisse è atteso, da troppi anni, a casa da Penelope, sposa fedele, che, travagliata da domande e sospetti, si chiede perché ancora l’eroe non faccia ritorno alla sua Itaca.
Elena rinfaccia a Paride la sua fama di ‘Helenadros’ rovina degli uomini, e si fa carico della responsabilità della distruzione di Troia. Durante quei dieci sanguinosi anni di guerra, la sorella Clitemnestra invece è rimasta seduta sul trono di Agamennone e ora racconta come sta preparando il ritorno del re.
Andromaca, fatta schiava del figlio di Achille, ed Ermione giovane sposa dello stesso eroe, si affrontano e si scontrano per il letto di Neottolemo: nel confronto dialettico vince la schiava troiana ed Ermione finisce per invocare in suo aiuto il primo promesso sposo, Oreste.
Medea rievoca la sua storia d’amore con Giasone, l’innamoramento, il tradimento, la fuga dal suo paese, e ora maledice e minaccia lo sposo fedifrago. Circe, come lei ‘figlia del Sole’, ricorda a Medea il suo daimon, la sua natura divina, e a sua volta si ricorda di Ulisse e del sapore intenso di vita e morte, sconosciuto agli dei, che per qualche attimo ha gustato nell’amore con l’eroe.

Prendendo spunto dalle Heroides di Ovidio, nell’azione teatrale Voci di eroine amorose le figure femminili del mito prendono la parola e si presentano in scena a raccontare la loro versione della storia.

Engramma issue No. 176, After Warburg, curated by Maurizio Ghelardi and Daniela Sacco is dedicated to the Warburg heritage, focussing on the Warburg-Kreis. Essays by Maurizio Ghelardi, Ianick Takaes, and Adrian Rifkin examine the figure of Edgar Wind, through a careful examination not only of his works but also of his complex relationships with other figures significant to Warburg's studies. Elizabeth Sears’ essay considers Aby Warburg in relation to Ernst Steinmann; Lucrezia Not’s text proposes a preliminary reflection on the publishing history of Saturn and Melancholy: Studies in the History of Natural Philosophy, Religion, and Art, by Raymond Klibansky, Fritz Saxl and Erwin Panofsky. In addition, Engramma presents Costanza Giannaccini’s Italian translation of Lucas Burkart's article Die Träumereien einiger kunstliebender Klosterbrüder... Zur Situation der Kulturwissenschaftlichen Bibliothek Warburg zwischen 1929 und 1933 ("Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte", 63, 2000) on the complex story of the transfer of the Warburg Library from Hamburg to London. A section of this issue is dedicated to the exhibition of Warburg’s reconstructed Bilderatlas Mnemosyne, “Aby Warburg: Mnemosyne- the Original” at the HKW - Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin (4 September – 30 November 2020). Engramma publishes the introduction to the catalogue by Roberto Ohrt and Axel Heil, and Bianca Maria Fasiolo’s interview with the exhibition’s curator, Roberto Ohrt. Neville Rowley’s text comments on the exhibition and presents the smaller, related exhibition of which he is the curator, “Between Cosmos and Pathos. Berlin Works from Aby Warburg's Mnemosyne Atlas” at the Gemäldegalerie and the Bode Museum Staatliche Museen in Berlin (8 August – 1 November 2020).

Engramma issue no. 173 Arianna Filosofica continues to research on the theme of Ariadne, which has already been addressed in a previous monographic issue of the Journal, mainly dedicated to the iconology of the sleeping Ariadne (Ariadne, ecstasy and melancholy, "La Rivista di Engramma" 163, March 2019). On this occasion, the study of the mythical princess of Crete aims to fathom the philosophical soul enclosed in this figure, especially by analysing her role in Nietzsche's thinking. The issue includes contributions by Victoria Cirlot, Anna Fressola; Michela Maguolo, Anna Fressola, and Carlotta Santini. The philosophical survey of Ariadne is brought to a conclusion with the contribution by Maria Luisa Catoni, who introduces a new research trajectory – the philological and archaeological thread which will be the subject of further researches.
