This work investigates the contributions of the Art and Culture historian and image theorist Aby Warburg (1866- 1929), understanding Warburg’s work as an autobiography, through the perspective of the “biographem” concept by French philosopher Roland Barthes (1915-1980). It aims to discuss Warburg’s contributions for the Art History fi eld from the analysis of the images and its displacements, mainly about the concept of survival. It seeks to investigate Aby Warburg’s transdisciplinar and trans-historical imagetic and historiographic operations, approaching the complexity of the artistic objects and their temporalities, also its potentialities for new methodologies in Art History.
