Abstract
The French philosopher and historian G. Didi-Huberman (b. 1953) is one of the most famous modern image theorists working in the field of visual studies. His works are devoted to the nature of the visual image and the features of its perception. He turns to the legacy of Abi Warburg (1866– 1929), problematizing, among other things, the Atlas of “Mnemosyne” as a space for the formation of cultural memory. During years 2010–2014 G. Didi-Huberman curated a series of exhibitions on the contemporary contexts of the Warburg Atlas. The article explores, based on texts and exhibition projects, the G. Didi-Huberman theory of the image through the prism of the idea of the atlas as a special discursive space that preserves cultural memory.
