Abstract

This work proposes a theoretical conjunction between the intellectual production of Georges Didi-Huberman and Jacques Rancière regarding their thoughts on the relationship between image, representation and history. Via an analysis of their contributions, we hope to clarify the position shared between these authors regarding the criticism of the culture of the unrepresentable. To do so, we demonstrate that the unimaginable is not located in the field of that which is impossible to represent, but of a tearing opening that touches us and offers us a displacement of limits.
