Abstract: This two-handed text integrates in a single space the debate held by two indisputable academic figures, Georges Didi-Huberman, art historian, and Enzo Traverso, historian, in the French digital daily news AOC [Analyse Opinion Critique], between the months of May and October 2022. In a public exchange of letters, Didi-Huberman begins the discussion on a brief comment that Traverso includes in his book Revolution. An Intellectual History (2021), which alluded to a problematic image by photographer Gilles Caron -taken during the anti-Catholic demonstrations in Northern Ireland in 1969-, part of Soulèvements, an exhibition that Didi-Huberman curated for the Jeu de Paume Museum in Paris between 2016 and 2017. From this point, the debate between the two intellectuals will extend to one of the most interesting reflections, which shows two positions on the ways of seeing the image and its relationship to history.
