Georges Didi-Huberman called Warburg “our obsession”, a Dibbuk that continues to haunt us. The years-long successive work on an enormous archive – Warburg’s bequest – revealing not only an outline of never completed projects and the scale of quests but also the history of a mental illness and an amazing return to health, became entangled with interest in Warburg’s legacy, growing since the 1980s; thus at the end of the twentieth century, Warburg, little known during his lifetime, became, an emblematic figures of the contemporary humanities. This unexpected revival, ”life after life”, so well inserted into the ”phantom tic model” of history construed by him, testifies not only to the belated discovery of his opus. From the present-day view the impossibility of delineating the boundaries of the Warburg project appears to be particularly intriguing, and its open form means that writing today about his work signifies accepting that one day our hypotheses and interpretations will be modified or undermined.
