Wykład jako rytuał przejścia
Lecture as Rite de Passage

Summary/Abstract: The Warburg presentation still fascinates due to the proximity between the author and the topic. In this curious discourse European cultural identity is regained thanks to becoming close to the Other, envisaged as „madness” and „savagery”. Warburg actually performs a transition ritual, in which the object of the analysis turns into the observing subject. This autobiographical attitude assumes particular meaning in the present-day state of research.
