This essay aims to examine Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas
according to two conceptual perspectives that seem deeply
interwoven, Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of rhizome and
Michel Serres’s metaphor on Hermes. Both theoretical
approaches cast light on the epistemological implications of the
Mnemosyne Atlas and explore its intriguing composition from
an innovative point of view. Specifically, this paper excavates
the disrupted nature of the Warburgian Atlas, paying particular
attention to the schizophrenic proliferation of unexpected
connections. In this scenario, it will be necessary to elucidate
the terminological opposition between ‘atlas’ and ‘archive,’ as
studied by Boris Groys, Foucault, and Derrida, without leaving
aside Didi-Huberman’s pioneering research on Warburg
