Aby Warburg and Anti-semitism - Political Perspectives on Images and Culture (Hardcover): Charlotte Schoell-Glass Aby Warburg and Anti-semitism - Political Perspectives on Images and Culture (Hardcover)

This is a landmark study on Aby Warburg's life and work, translated into English.In ""Aby Warburg and Anti-Semitism"", Charlotte Schoell-Glass provides an unprecedented look at the life and writings of cultural critic Aby Warburg through the prism of Warburg's little-known political views. Schoell-Glass argues provocatively based on archival research that Warburg's work and teachings developed as a reaction to the growing anti-Semitism in Germany, which he saw as a threat to classical education and university scholarship. Translated into English for the first time, ""Aby Warburg and Anti-Semitism"" sheds much needed light on Warburg's views on Judaism and the politics of his time.Aby Warburg, scion of a well-known Jewish banking family in Hamburg, sacrificed his birthright to pursue a career as a private scholar. As an independent art historian, he devoted himself almost exclusively to reinterpreting the revival of antiquity within the Renaissance, urging other art historians to approach their work as a brand of the larger study of image making and philosophy. In this study, Schoell-Glass examines Warburg's most influential essays on Durer, Rembrandt, and the Sassetti Chapel and his most innovative concepts - the accessories of motion, the pathos formula, and the afterlife of antiquity - to illustrate how Warburg persistently showed a deep concern over a disappointing and unstable outside world within his own work. Schoell-Glass shows how Warburg attempts to make a response to anti-Semitism the only way he knew how, despite his awareness of the diminishing societal relevance of that response.From this study of Warburg, Schoell-Glass produces a multilayered case study of the encounter between twentieth-century politics and scholarship. Art historians, German historians, and scholars of Jewish studies and cultural studies will be grateful for this volume.

Von August 1926 bis Oktober 1929 fuhrten Warburg, Gertrud Bing und Fritz Saxl gemeinsam ein institutionelles Tagebuch. Dieses Journal dokumentiert in 9 Banden ausfuhrlich die ersten Jahre der Bibliothek Warburg im neuen Gebaude in der Heilwigstrasse 116 sowie Warburgs letzte Reise nach Rom. Die Dokumentation halt kleinste Details des Alltagslebens der neuen Institution ebenso fest, wie weit in die Zukunft weisende Forschungsplane. Sie gibt vor allem Einblick in Warburgs Arbeitsweise, die in hohem Masse auf den intellektuellen Austausch mit gleichgesinnten Kollegen ausgerichtet war. Das Tagebuch der K.B.W. stellt eine fundamentale Quelle zur Erforschung der Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte der 20er Jahre dar und gibt einen Einblick in die vielfaltigen Bemuhungen um die Intitutionalisierung der Kulturwissenschaft. Dabei tritt auch die politische Dimension des Unternehmens Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg erstmals und in uberraschender Deutlichkeit zu Tage. Zu den wertvollen Eintragen der Erschliessung des Tagebuchs gehort auch das Sichtbarwerden eines dichtgewebten Netzes personlicher Beziehungen. Namen aus dem Hamburger Umfeld, aus deutschen und internationalen Zusammenhangen belegen nicht nur individuelle Interessenskonvergenzen, sondern spiegeln auch die Dynamik der Prozesse wissenschaftlicher Formierung und Auseinandersetzung in den mittleren Jahren der Weimarer Republik."
