Stijn De Cauwer. Review of "Didi-Huberman and the Image" by Chari Larsson
Potentiality and Uprisings: Georges Didi-Huberman in Dialogue with Giorgio Agamben and Antonio Negri
In his recent work, Georges Didi-Huberman has engaged in a critical dialogue with the theories of Giorgio Agamben and Antonio Negri about the potentiality of people to rise up against oppression. In his text ‘Puissance de ne pas, ou la politique du désoeuvrement’, Didi-Huberman critiques the overly negative manner in which Agamben has theorised the potentiality for resistance. He argues that the desire to resist oppression is universal and can al…
Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and Georges Didi-Huberman: The persistence of lost worlds
In two striking books released in 2019, Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and Georges Didi-Huberman explicitly draw a connection between their respective theoretical approaches to images and their family histories. In Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism, Azoulay recounts the suppression of the existence of her Algerian-Jewish grandmother Aïsha by her father, who wanted to hide his Arabic-Algerian origins. Azoulay consequently develops a critical view o…
Critical Theory at a Crossroads: Conversations on Resistance in Times of Crisis
Critical Theory at a Crossroads presents conversations with prominent theorists about the crises that have marked the past years and the use of the term "crisis" in political discourse. They offer their views on contemporary challenges and how we might address them, candidly discussing the alternatives that new social movements have offered.
Searching for Fireflies: Pathos and Imagination in the Theories of Georges Didi-Huberman
In Survivance des lucioles, Georges Didi-Huberman cites sections from a letter in which Pier Paolo Pasolini describes an encounter with a swarm of fireflies. The sight of the fireflies triggers reflections on various topics on the part of Pasolini. However, at the end of his life, Pasolini lamented the fact that fireflies had disappeared in modern society, serving as a metaphor for the fact that he had lost all hope in the consumerist society in …
Images Re-Read: The Method of Georges Didi-Huberman
In this text, Jacques Rancière critically discusses the work of Georges Didi-Huberman on images. He disagrees with various claims seemingly made by Didi-Huberman about images, such as that they can “take position” or that they are “active.” Rancière argues that Didi-Huberman adds another form of dialectics to the simpler form of dialectics adopted by Bertolt Brecht and Harun Farocki in their works, namely one that also involves a layering of diff…
Critical Image Configurations: The Work of Georges Didi-Huberman
written over 50 books in French; an impressive body of work to which new titles are added every year.His work, which investigates images in their theoretical, historical and political dimensions, has become a widely admired reference point across the Humanities.This is not only due to the richness of his theoretical reflections
Image, Language: The Other Dialectic
In this text, Georges Didi-Huberman responds, in letter-form, to the critical reflections about his work formulated by Jacques Rancière in “Images Re-read: Georges Didi-Huberman’s Method.” Didi-Huberman disagrees with Rancière’s analysis that images are “passive” and that the words which accompany them are “active.” Instead, he agrees with Merleau-Ponty’s view, which postulates that any analysis of images that seeks to disentangle its elements wi…
