Part of the CHS Aesthetics and Philosophy Seminar Series
Time… gives nothing to see. It is at the very least the element of invisibility itself. It withdraws whatever could be given to be seen. It itself withdraws from visibility. One can only be blind to time, to the essential disappearance of time even as, nevertheless, in a certain manner, nothing appears that does not require and take time.
– Jacques Derrida
The image is not a closed field of knowledge; it is a whirling, centrifugal field. It is not a field of knowledge like any other; it is a movement demanding all the anthropological aspects of being and time.
– Georges Didi-Huberman
Much of the late modern pre-occupation with the question of the image has been coextensive with the question of temporality. This lecture draws on a number of conjunctions of this relationship such as the time-image, poiesis and the dialectical image and explores the difference between the sayable and the seeable. In turn practices of montage and collage will be sites of extended investigation.
