Entre cristales y auras: El tiempo, la imagen y la historia

Abstract

During the twentieth century, history approached images as documents in many ways, but omitted the epistemological conditions images offered in their complexity and which became a central part of scientific reflection. One of the aspects which determine an image is, in fact, the one that should be more involved in historical reflection: time. Based on the thoughts of Walter Benjamin, Gilles Deleuze and Aby Warburg, it is possible to find, through the anachronism of images, new clues to understand the past. How can we propose a history of images that involves timelessness as an epistemological condition of the discipline?.
