description: This issue of Engramma is intended as an update of the overview of studies dedicated to Warburg in the world: an important work of reconnaissance inaugurated with Engramma 165, Warburgian Studies. The issue brings together contributions from different scholars, sharing a common vision of Warburg and his thought. A Companion to Warburgian Studies is divided into three parts. In Essays Daniela Sacco in Forma Atlante e storiografia teatrale offers us a reflection on the possibility of considering the ‘atlas form’, deduced from the thought of Aby Warburg, as a model for investigating the methodology of twentieth-century theatrical historiography, and in particular in the pioneering studies opened by Ludovico Zorzi and Fabrizio Cruciani. Arturo Mazzarella, Aby Warburg. Per una genealogia del Rinascimento aims to highlight the profound innovations made by Warburg, compared to the most widespread interpretations of Renaissance artistic culture. Raoul Kirchmayr, Per una semantica del Nach. Osservazioni di metodo su Warburg, Freud e Benjamin The author analyses the semantics of the term Nachleben, which expresses the unique relationship between image and time in three authors that the history of scholarship has often juxtaposed: Warburg, Benjamin and Freud. The point of reference from which the reflection starts is the interest of all three in the epistemological status of images in relation to their historicity. Alessandro Dal Lago, Voce dall’Enciclopedia Garzanti di Filosofia, a cura di G. Vattimo, M. Ferraris, D. Marconi, Milano [1981] 1993 rejects the definition of Warburg as an art historian, pointing out how he extends his research to Anthropology, History of Religions, and Science of Culture. Chiara Velicogna, “A small academy in a small town”. Anglo-italian scholarship on the Teatro Olimpico in the immediate post-war period approaches two early post-war pieces of scholarship concerning the Teatro Olimpico: Donald Gordon’s Academicians Build a Theatre and Give a Play (1966) and Licisco Magagnato’s The Genesis of the Teatro Olimpico (1951). In Overviews, Livros e artigos sobre Aby Warburg em língua portuguesa (2018-2023) by Ianick Takaes The bibliography edited by Ianick Takaes updates the review of texts on Aby Warburg in Portuguese by Cássio Fernandes published in “Engramma” 165, Aby Warburg negli studi latino-americani. Исследования о Варбурге в России by Ekaterina Mikhailova-Smolniakova summarises the recent studies about Aby Warburg in Russia.
