Warburg brought together Greek gods and golfers, antiquities and airships – and in reconstruction, his puzzling arrangements of images are as suggestive as ever

Entre 1921 y 1924, Aby Warburg se ve arrojado, sin atenuantes, al círculo infernal de la locura. Durante su estancia en la clínica Bellevue de Kreuzlingen, bajo los auspicios de Ludwig Binswanger, no hizo más que desconcertar repetidamente a los psiquiatras. Los estudiosos suelen acercarse a este período de la vida de Warburg con acrimonia archivística o pundonor exegético. Se presiente un abismo que, por más que se lo intentó, nunca pudo ser conjurado. Sin embargo, ¿qué ocurriría si en esta noche oscura de la vida de Warburg se encerrarse la clave última para la interpretación de su pensamiento y de su legado? ¿Dónde han migrado los dioses? ¿Qué secretos custodian las imágenes? El “caso Warburg” abandona en este libro los anales de la psiquiatría para transformarse en el portavoz de un destino: arropar sobre sí el legado de la tradición metafísica occidental para, acto seguido, desterrarlo hacia rumbos imprevisibles. La crisis de Warburg da asimismo el tono de los estertores de una época agonizante en la historia del saber. Cabe vislumbrar entre sus astillas la desesperación de una Era que se anuncia, sigilosa, en el murmullo ensordecedor de este siglo naciente.
