Summary/Abstract: The article proposes an examination of the relations Georges Didi-Huberman’s work establishes be- tween the discipline of philology and the knowledge he applies to images as cultural objects. More precisely, it identifies what are the use values that Georges Didi-Huberman assigns to philology. The argument is constructed semantically, looking at his usage of the word (including derived nouns or ad- jectives), and also practically, focusing on his writing practice. The analysis is grounded in a distinction between iconologic and imaginative approaches to the study of images.
