"Seeking out the minor lights of friendship in a time of fascism Dante once spoke, in his Divine Comedy, of the miniscule lights, in the twenty-sixth canto of the Inferno, who, contrary to the great lights that shined bright within the sublime circles of Paradise, frailly wandered in the somber pockets of glimmering light within the darkness. Pliny the Elder was once preoccupied by a type of fly named pyrallis or pyrotocon, which was onl ..."

Questioning the Ends of a Certain History of Art
by Georges Didi-Huberman, John Goodman, Professor Georges Didi-Huberman
Paperback, 336 Pages, Published 2009 by Penn State University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-271-02472-1, ISBN: 0-271-02472-0

"When the French edition of Confronting Images appeared in 1990, it won immediate acclaim because of its far-reaching arguments about the structure of images and the histories ascribed to them by scholars and critics working in the tradition of Vasari and Panofsky. According to Didi-Huberman, visual representation has an "underside" in which seemingly intelligible forms lose their clarity and defy rational understanding. Art historians, ..."

"Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas (1925–1929) is a prescient work of mixed media assemblage, made up of hundreds of images culled from antiquity to the Renaissance and arranged into startling juxtapositions. Warburg’s allusive atlas sought to illuminate the pains of his final years, after he had suffered a breakdown and been institutionalized. It continues to influence contemporary artists today, including Gerhard Richter and Mark Dion.   I ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-226-14813-7, ISBN: 0-226-14813-0

"The traditional story of Renaissance painting is one of inexorable progress toward the exact representation of the real and visible. Georges Didi-Huberman disrupts this story with a new look--and a new way of looking--at the fifteenth-century painter Fra Angelico. In doing so, he alters our understanding of both early Renaissance art and the processes of art history. A Florentine painter who took Dominican vows, Fra Angelico (1400-1455 ..."

The Man Who Walked in Color(1st Edition)
(Univocal)
by Georges Didi-Huberman, Drew S. Burk, Professor Georges Didi-Huberman, Burk Didi-Huberman
Paperback, 80 Pages, Published 2017 by Univocal Publishing
ISBN-13: 978-1-945414-01-5, ISBN: 1-945414-01-4

"For Georges Didi-Huberman, artist James Turrell is an inventor of impossible spaces and unthinkable sites, of aporias, of fables. Creator of some of the most fascinating works of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, Turrell uses as his medium the most elemental material of sight and art: light. One crucial aspect of his work is the fabulation of place and vision with its foundation deep in history. Didi-Huberman takes the ..."






What Is a People?
(New Directions in Critical Theory)
by Alain Badiou, Sadri Khiari, Georges Didi-Huberman, Judith Butler, Professor Pierre Bourdieu, Jody Gladding, Jacques Rancière, Bruno Bosteels, Kevin Olson, Ms Jody Gladding
Hardcover, 176 Pages, Published 2016 by Columbia University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-231-16876-2, ISBN: 0-231-16876-4

""What Is a People?" seeks to reclaim "people" as an effective political concept by revisiting its uses and abuses over time. Alain Badiou surveys the idea of a people as a productive force of solidarity and emancipation and as a negative tool of categorization and suppression. Pierre Bourdieu follows with a sociolinguistic analysis of "popular" and its transformation of democracy, beliefs, songs, and even soups into phenomena with outsi ..."
