Resumo
A presente pesquisa está situada na disciplina de Historiografia da Arte, dedicando-se ao estudo compreensivo da obra de um dos autores mais importantes deste campo na viragem do século XX, que é Aby Warburg (1866-1929). Diante da obra legada pelo historiador hamburguês, selecionamos um tema que ocupou a centralidade de sua preocupação intelectual: a Antiguidade.
Partindo desse tema central, desdobramos nossa pesquisa em duas linhas de investigação distintas e complementares entre si, que são: o desenvolvimento da historiografia da arte e a análise da imagem. Como fio condutor para nos auxiliar na tarefa de adentrar no corpus de conferências e manuscritos warburguianos, elaboramos as seguintes interrogações que serão respondidas ao longo do texto: 1) como a tradição historiográfica recepcionou e construiu a interpretação da Antiguidade e de que modo Warburg inovou em relação a ela, chegando ao ponto de criar – como defende Giorgio Agamben – uma “ciência sem nome”; e 2) de que maneira essa nova compreensão da Antiguidade influenciou sua análise da cultura artística do Renascimento, gerando um modo totalmente novo de se colocar diante a imagem – como nos fala Didi-Huberman?
O esforço para responder a esses questionamentos está sustentado no estudo compreensivo de Aby Warburg, além do patrimônio que é oferecido pela tradição warburguiana e da fortuna crítica que resulta do debate atual realizado por comentadores de sua obra. Na trajetória de obtenção dessas respostas percorreremos um caminho inédito, centrado em um problema crucial para o historiador hamburguês, sendo que no final do processo veremos um panorama geral de sua vida e obra.
The present research is situated in the discipline of Art Historiography, dedicating itself to the comprehensive study of the work of one of the most important authors in this field at the turn of the 20th century, Aby Warburg (1866-1929). Given the work bequeathed by the Hamburg historian, we selected a theme that occupied the centrality of his intellectual concern: Antiquity. Starting from this central theme, we unfold our research into two distinct and complementary lines of investigation, which are: the development of historiography and the analysis of image. As a guiding thread to help us in the task of entering the corpus of Warburgian conferences and manuscripts, we elaborate the following questions that will be answered throughout the text: 1) how the historiographic tradition constructed its interpretation of Antiquity and how Warburg innovates in relation to it, going so far as to create – as Giorgio Agamben advocates – a “science without a name”?; and 2) how did this new understanding of Antiquity influence his analysis of the artistic culture of the Renaissance, generating a totally new way of approaching the image – as Didi-Huberman tells us? The effort to answer these questions is supported by the comprehensive study of Aby Warburg, in addition to the heritage offered by the Warburgian tradition and the critical fortune that results from the current debate carried out by commentators on his work. In order to obtain these answers, we will follow an unprecedented path, centered on a crucial problem for the Hamburg historian, and at the end of the journey we will see a general overview of his life and work.
