🧵 2/2
Thinking about the Warburg Institute prompted me to read this recently published biography of the founder of the library, Aby Warburg.
Knowing that Warburg was a humanist hostile to rigid disciplinary boundaries, I had imagined that Warburg himself was an easygoing chap, not at all inclined to academic territoriality.
This biography disabused me of that set of beliefs, as the author shows how insecurity with regard to his own scholarly identity led Warburg to engage in the unpleasant pettiness of academic politicking. I also learnt about his questionable activities as a propagandist for Germany during WWI, his abuse of his wife, and his disagreeable vanity.
I don't think this biographical detail discredits his ideas about images and the continuing influence of antiquity, Yet the biography did bring to my attention some of the problematic sources of Warburg's ideas, such as neolamarckian psychological theories that posited the heritability of memories.
Read the book if you're interested in art history, visual culture, the history of humanities scholarship, or the history of universities in Germany.
