Aby M. Warburg (1866–1929) is recognized not only as one of the century’s preeminent art and Renaissance historians but also as a founder of twentieth-century methods in iconology and cultural studies in general. Warburg’s 1923 lecture, first published in German in 1988 and now available in the first complete English translation, offers at once a window on his career, a formative statement of his cultural history of modernity, and a document in the ethnography of the American Southwest. This edition includes thirty-nine photographs, many of them originally presented as slides with the speech, and a rich interpretive essay by the translator.
Aby Warburg brach im September 1895 zu einer Reise in die USA auf, die f r ihn wie auch f r die wissenschaftliche Disziplin Kunstgeschichte folgenreich war. Die Ergebnisse seiner kulturanthropologischen Forschungen ( Schlangenritual ), die er 1897 in Vortr gen und 1923 im Kreuzlinger Sanatorium pr sentierte, werden erstmals in verl sslichen Transkriptionen und mit allen Bilddokumenten vorgelegt.
Neben ca. 200 Fotografien, die Warburg etwa von Tanzritualen der Pueblo-Indianer aufnahm, bietet diese Edition erstmals den vollst ndigen Katalog seiner Sammlung indianischer Artefakte. Ausf hrlich kommentiert und Kenntnisse zu jener Reise erweiternd, zeigt der Band, wie Warburg die Erforschung der Kultur der Hopi zur kulturpsychologischen Selbstbetrachtung des europ ischen Wissenschaftlers nutzt.

The essential panel-by-panel companion to Aby Warburg's epic atlas
Accompanying the first ever English-language publication of legendary German art historian Aby Warburg's (1866-1929) Bilderatlas Mnemosyne, this commentary volume provides an explication of each of the panels constituting Warburg's modernist masterpiece. The Bilderatlas Mnemosyne was begun in 1925 and ended with Warburg's death in 1929. He created it as a series of 63 large themed panels, each featuring a constellation of images--postcards, maps, adverts, reproductions of artworks--that trace the migration of symbols from antiquity to the present. Warburg's goal was to show how certain gestures and icons repeated themselves across history, constituting what he called a "pathos formula"--that is, an enduring emotional metaphor. Warburg had the panels photographed, conceiving of their ultimate incarnation as being in book form--but never completed the atlas.
Assembled over several years through a collaborative process, the texts in this volume analyze each of the panels (which the English edition of the Atlas itself painstakingly reconstructs from the archives of the Warburg Institute). The book is prefaced by an introduction and a general analysis of the whole structure of the Atlas.

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 Mnemosyne-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 Mnemosyne-Atlas as a vital form of metaphoric thought.
While the nondiscursive, frequently digressive character of the Mnemosyne-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 Mnemosyne-Atlas. In addition to examining the work itself, he considers the literary, philosophical, and intellectual-historical implications of the Mnemosyne-Atlas. As Johnson demonstrates, the Mnemosyne-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.
