But the decoding can also become more properly iconological, to invoke Erwin Panofsky's distinction between the iconographer who is content to identify the referent and the iconologist who attempts to interpret it. It is important to recognize the close affinity of Panofsky's methodological polemics and his apology for the Renaissance, for ultimately the art historical methodology of the iconologist and the cultural ideals represented by the Renaissance were closely connected in his mind. Culture, according to early-twentieth-century iconologist Aby Warburg's theory of the pathos formula, is transmitted through affective recapitulation, and Heng's figures are ghostly embodiments of affective gestures, poses, and postures. |
