Abstract

In this article, I attempt to think, on the one hand, Georges Didi-Huberman’s task as art historian and image thinker, together with, on the other hand, his supplementary activity as an exhibition curator in light of his most recent exhibition: Soulèvements. This project consists of an apparatus built around the phenomenon of social resistance and popular uprising, produced mainly by the Jeu de Paume Gallery in Paris. For this purpose, I explore that which the author, in his texts, demands of all the practices that aim to "make sensible" the upheavals experienced by human beings, in order to see how he translates these points in successive montages. I then analyse the political consequences of the migratory character of the project and the conditions of its opening. Furthermore, the article reconstructs the anthropological fable on which the itinerary of the exhibition is built and considers the particular way Didi-Huberman sheds light on the complex temporality of uprising.
