Abstract

In  the  "open  history"  proposed  by  Walter  Benjamin, the linear  and   chronological  would  be  one  possibility  among  several.  The  present  in which   the  story  is  written  /  inscribed  would  immobilize the  past  and   simultaneously  would  impregnate it  with  new  meanings.  The assemblage,  a   central  idea  for  Benjamin,  would  be  an  operation  that could  always  be   perfected  and  it  would  be linked  to  that  opening. Georges  Didi-­‐Huberman   follows  the  traces  left  by  Benjamin  and explores  the  idea  of  various possibilities  of  beginnings  of  the history due  to  this  opening  and  faces  us  to the  image  and  its  rests  and singularities
