It is        clear that Ernst H. Gombrich saw Gertrud Bing (1892-1964) as the muse in        the circle of scholars around Aby M. Warburg (1866-1929). Others have        compared her to the figure of the nymph, which was essential to        Warburg’s thought. Indeed, with Warburg’s fascination for the ninfa        fiorentina, a picturing of ‘the feminine’ enters into the centre of        his thinking. However, Warburg almost never voiced opinions about the        role of gender in the structure of society. Nor does it seem that he        actually admitted women to his intellectual universe. Gertrud Bing, it        turns out, was the rare exception.                                     Who was Gertrud Bing and what was her personal contribution to Warburg’s        scientific project? This essay intends to map the agency of Gertrud        Bing, in a way that she herself would have probably preferred. According        to her, the ideal biography ought to merge the personal with the        intellectual, since, what one experiences as a human being will also        find its way into the academic oeuvre one leaves behind.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50587490713943,"sku":"9789042941915","price":50.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-fortune-of-gertrud-bing-1892-1964-a-fragmented-memoir-of-a-phantomlike-muse-9789042941915","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
