This book forces us to rethink many of the certainties that we have before not only images that we see with our eyes but also embrace with knowledge processes and categories of thought. Where do these categories come from? It is the question that Georges Didi-Huberman asks to art history. A question that needs to unravel the discourse models used so far for this discipline. On the basis of premises made by Vasari, Panofsky and Freud, Didi-Huberman develops a renewed notion of the visual that gives way to what he calls a principle of uncertainty, that is, an obligation to look at not knowing.
