Il messaggero della memoria - La tavola B nell'Atlante Mnemosyne di Aby Warburg

This paper examines Tavola B of Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas as a psychogram of the human body caught between cosmic forces, where mystical vision, astrological schemata, and rational proportion oscillate without resolution. The essay argues that Warburg’s montage reveals not a linear humanist “rebirth of antiquity,” but the persistent tension between magic and reason, orientation and disorientation, which defines cultural memory.
