Le analogie, le contaminazioni e le assonanze fra alcuni aspetti del pensiero di Aby Warburg e di Walter Benjamin sono ancora al centro del dibattito teorico contemporaneo. In assenza di reali rapporti documentabili, le affinità fra i due studiosi si riscontrano nella struttura delle loro opere più originali e significative, l’Atlante della Memoria e i Passagen-Werk, nell’adozione del frammento come linguaggio concettuale, e infine nelle riflessioni sul barocco che per entrambi gli studiosi coinvolgono il rapporto con la tragedia antica e con il dramma moderno

Abstract
Analogies, contaminations and assonances between certain aspects of the thought of Aby Warburg and Walter Benjamin are still at the center of the contemporary theoretical debate. In the absence of tangible and documented exchanges, the similarities between the two scholars can be found in the structure of their most original and significant works, the Atlas of Memory and the Passagen-Werk, and in the adoption of the fragment as a conceptual language. Of particular interest is the reflection on baroque which, for both scholars, involves the relation with the ancient tragedy and the modern drama.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
