I28-R145-17186_oai2026-02-10 Venegas Zubiría, Carlos Mario 2025-12-04 This article analyzes the theoretical implications of investigating the contemporary image of art as emergence and how its study can challenge the boundaries of the discipline of art history. To achieve this purpose, we will focus on reflections and concepts Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin, and Didi-Huberman presented in history, philosophy, and art. Among them are the idea of appearing and the operative notions of Nachleben and Pathosformel. From this perspective, it is suggested that the image is a singular apparition that can transform, question, and revitalize historical and cultural processes, especially those traversed by violence that determines the tragic character of culture. It also addresses the relevance of revitalizing the “historical intelligibility of images” and how memories and metamorphoses are linked to the sensitive character of the apparition. This paper provides a perspective on the role of the contemporary image and examines how, in its multiple transformations, we find symptoms, seismic and traumatic waves that invite us to consider the forces and forms of the past, whose reminiscences and shudders present themselves in the plasticity of the present. Este artículo analiza las implicaciones teóricas de investigar la imagen contemporánea del arte como aparición, y cómo su estudio puede desafiar los límites de la disciplina de la historia del arte. Con el fin de alcanzar este propósito, nos enfocaremos en las reflexiones y conceptos que han sido presentados por Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin y Didi-Huberman en la historia, la filosofía y el arte. Entre ellos se encuentran el concepto de aparecer y las nociones operativas de Nachleben y Pathosformel. Desde esta perspectiva, se sugiere que la imagen es una aparición singular que puede transformar, cuestionar y revitalizar los procesos históricos y culturales, especialmente aquellos atravesados por la violencia que determinan el carácter trágico de la cultura. Asimismo, se aborda la relevancia de revitalizar la “inteligibilidad histórica de las imágenes” y cómo las memorias y las metamorfosis se vinculan en el carácter sensible de la aparición. Este escrito proporciona una perspectiva sobre el papel de la imagen contemporánea, con el propósito de examinar cómo en sus múltiples transformaciones se encuentran síntomas, seísmos y ondas traumáticas que nos invitan a considerar las fuerzas y formas del pasado, cuyas reminiscencias y estremecimientos se presentan en la plasticidad del presente. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/17186 10.34096/cf.n84.17186 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/17186/15488 Derechos de autor 2025 Cuadernos de filosofía Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 84 (2025) 2362-485X 0590-1901 Apparition Image Bachleben Pathosformel Philosophy of Art Aparición Imagen Nachleben Pathosformel Filosofía del Arte An Approach to the Image as Apparition Una aproximación a la imagen como aparición info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cufilo&d=17186_oai |

This article analyzes the theoretical implications of investigating the contemporary image of art as emergence and how its study can challenge the boundaries of the discipline of art history. To achieve this purpose, we will focus on reflections and concepts Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin, and Didi-Huberman presented in history, philosophy, and art. Among them are the idea of appearing and the operative notions of Nachleben and Pathosformel. From this perspective, it is suggested that the image is a singular apparition that can transform, question, and revitalize historical and cultural processes, especially those traversed by violence that determines the tragic character of culture. It also addresses the relevance of revitalizing the “historical intelligibility of images” and how memories and metamorphoses are linked to the sensitive character of the apparition. This paper provides a perspective on the role of the contemporary image and examines how, in its multiple transformations, we find symptoms, seismic and traumatic waves that invite us to consider the forces and forms of the past, whose reminiscences and shudders present themselves in the plasticity of the present. |
