"Of one and a half million surviving photographs related to Nazi concentration camps, only four depict the actual process of mass killing perpetrated at the gas chambers. Images in Spite of All reveals that these rare photos of Auschwitz, taken clandestinely by one of the Jewish prisoners forced to help carry out the atrocities there, were made as a potent act of resistance.           Available today because they were smuggle ..."
"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, ..."

"A noted French thinker's poignant reflections, in words and photographs, on his visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau.On a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Georges Didi-Huberman tears three pieces of bark from birch trees on the edge of the site. Looking at these pieces after his return home, he sees them as letters, a flood, a path, time, memory, flesh. The bark serves as a springboard to Didi-Huberman's meditations on his visit, recorded in this sp ..."
"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?" 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 ..."
"What would a sculpture look like that has as its task to "touch thought?" For the French philosopher and Art Historian, Georges Didi-Huberman, this is the central question that permeates throughout the work of Italian artist Giuseppe Penone. Through a careful study of Penone s work regarding a sculptural and haptic process of contact with place, thought, and artistic practice, Didi-Huberman takes the reader on a journey through various ..."
"In his private life, as well as in his work and political attitudes, Michel Foucault often stood in contradiction to himself, especially when his expansive ideas collided with the institutions in which he worked. In Francois Caillat's provocative collection of essays and interviews based on his French documentary of the same name, leading contemporary critics and philosophers reframe Foucault's legacy in an effort to build new ways of t ..."
"The Surviving Image, originally published in French in 2002, is the result of Georges Didi-Huberman’s extensive research into the life and work of foundational art historian Aby Warburg. Warburg envisioned an art history that engaged with anthropology, psychoanalysis, and philosophy in order to understand the “life” of images. Drawing on a wide range of Warburg’s unpublished letters and diaries, Didi-Huberman demonstrates unequivocally ..."
"The text proceeds as a series of reflections, accompanied by Didi-Huberman's photographs of the visit."

"Scavenging, replicating, or remixing, many influential artists today reinvent a legacy of "stealing" images and forms from other makers. Among the diverse, often contestatory strategies included under the heading "appropriation" are the readymade, détournement, pastiche, rephotography, recombination, simulation and parody. Although appropropriation is often associated ..."
"Alberto Giacometti s 1934" Cube" stands apart for many as atypical of the Swiss artist, the only abstract sculptural work in a wide oeuvre that otherwise had as its objective the exploration of reality. With "The Cube and the Face, " renowned French art historian and philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman has conducted a careful analysis of "Cube, " consulting the artist s sketches, etchings, texts, and other sculptural works in the years j ..."
"For the past 20 years, Lithuanian-born artist Esther Shalev-Gerz (born 1948) has undertaken research into the construction of public memory through films, video installations, photographs and site-specific works that disrupt the discourses of such historiographic disciplines as anthropology, ethnology and museology. This volume surveys her work."
"El artista es un inventor de lugares. Da forma da carne a espacios improbables, imposibles o impensables: aporías fábulas. El tipo de lugares que inventa James Turrell pasa en primer lugar por un trabajo con la luz: material incandescente o nocturno, evane"

"Dante imaginó que, en el seno del Infierno, en el foso de los "consejeros pérfidos", se agitaban las pequeñas luces de las almas malvadas, bien lejos de la gran y única luz prometida en el Paraíso. Parece que la historia moderna ha invertido esta relación: los "consejeros pérfidos" se agitan triunfalmente bajo los haces de la gran luz (televisiva), mientras que los pueblos sin poder vagan por la oscuridad como luciérnagas."
"Aby Warburg, indagando l'arte dalla prospettiva delle "sopravvivenze dell'antichità", riservò particolare attenzione a un'immagine conturbante, una figura femminile ornata di panneggi alla quale diede il nome di Ninfa. Questo studio prolunga la ricerca warburgiana di Ninfa e interroga il motivo del corpo femminile e del panneggio attraverso le sue metamorfosi contemporanee. A partire dalle figure languide delle Veneri rinascimentali e d ..."
