Lara Bonneau

CV

Lara Bonneau focuses on aesthetics and German philosophy of art and culture, especially the “Kunstwissenschaft” movement and its Czech and Austrian branches. She has published a monograph (Presses du réel) dedicated to the father of iconology, Aby Warburg (Lire l'œuvre d'Aby Warburg à la lumière de ses Fragments sur l'expression, Dijon, 2022), and has worked on the foundation of the so-called "allgemeine Kunstwissenschaft" through the work of Emil Utitz (1883-1956), a Prague-based German-Jewish scholar.
She is particularly interested in the various thematisations of symbolic forms (Cassirer, Warburg) and the questions concerning aesthetic education but also in the morphological tradition and its influence on philosophical anthropology at the turn of the 19th century.
