Operationalizing Aby Warburg\u2019s Atlas of images<\/a>\u00a0(click to see video of full lecture)<\/p>\n<p>January 26 2017,\u00a0Indiana University<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Aby Warburg\u2019s last and most ambitious project, the Atlas Mnemosyne \u2013 conceived in 1926 and truncated three years later by Warburg\u2019s sudden death \u2013 consists of a series of large black panels, on which are attached black-and-white photographs of paintings, sculptures, tarot cards, stamps, coins, and other types of images. Its thousand images are unified by Warburg\u2019s greatest conceptual creation: the idea of the Pathosformel, or formula for the expression of extreme passion. In this talk, the reflection on the Pathosformel will take the unusual form of an attempt at \u201coperationalizing\u201d the concept, transforming it into a series of quantitative operations. The resulting model is then used to analyze the evidence assembled by Warburg in Mnemosyne, and to gain a new understanding of how extreme emotional states are represented in painting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Franco Moretti presents collaborative project (with Leonardo Impett) on computational approaches to Aby Warburg&#8217;s image atlas.\u00a0Formulating pathos, faces are irrelevant.
