A comprehensive introduction to the philosophy of Georges Didi-Huberman in dictionary form The Didi-Huberman Dictionary is a specialised introduction to the thought of contemporary French philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman, best known for his path-breaking philosophy of image and his impact on the fields of art historiography, aesthetic philosophy and cultural theory of psychoanalysis. With 85 entries written by 30 leading international scholars, the dictionary is a useful tool for students coming to Didi-Huberman's work for the first time. It identifies and explains his key figures, inspirations and philosophical metaphors, as well as introducing Didi-Huberman's polemics with other contemporary philosophers, including Aby Warburg, Sigmund Freud and Walter Benjamin. Entries on concepts and motifs from Didi-Huberman's major texts that are not, as of yet, translated into English - Ce que nous voyons, ce qui nous regarde (1992), and Ninfa moderna (2002) - are also included. Magdalena Zolkos is Associate Professor in the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland.
