Based on Warburg's observation, I will demonstrate three theses: 1) the psychic cleavage Warburg suffere disrelated specifically to imagination; 2) to understand this psychic cleavage, two forms of imagination shoud be distinguished: a symbolic imagination, that join sorconnects two elements, and a diabolic imagination, that splits the elements and introduces a pause between them; and 3) the typical experience of schizofrenia that constitues Mnemosyne is the nightmare. Según Aby Warburg, el origen de la psiquis histórica, cuya naturaleza es eminentemente esquizofrénica, responde a un phobos primitivo ocasionado por el Monstrum, es decir por el Caos o el Afuera extra-humano. En este artículo, partiré de esta constatación de Warburg con el objetivo de demostrar tres tesis: 1) la escisión psíquica diagnosticada y padecida por Warburg concierne específicamente a la imaginación; 2) para comprender esa escisión psíquica es preciso distinguir dos formas de la imaginación: una simbólica (que conjuga o articula dos elementos) y una diabólica (que los desune e introduce una pausa entre ambos); 3) la experiencia paradigmática de la esquizofrenia constitutiva de Mnemosyne es la pesadilla.
