Husserl and Dufrenne on the temporalization of the pictorial space

Abstract

Already with Husserl phenomenology seeks to address the many faces and manifestations of time, including the appearance of time in images. The critical question, however, is how such a manifestation is at all possible. In our paper we consider Husserl’s and Dufrenne’s answers to this question. It will be found that their positions not only share much in common, but they complement one another, with Husserl’s refinements on the issue of image consciousness revealing still more ways of experiencing time in images.
