%X Following the footsteps of Horkheimer and Adorno¡¯s Dialektik der Aufkl rung, W. G. Sebald¡¯s Die Ringe des Saturn develops a particular indictment of Enlightenment rationality, which manifests itself primarily as a critical examination of the three most prominent ¡°scopic regimes¡± of the modern era: the ¡°Cartesian Perspectivalism¡±, the ¡°Descriptive paradigm¡± of Dutch seventeenth-century Art, and the ¡°Baroque¡± visual culture. The critical exploration of these visual strategies stands in as representative for wide epistemological problems related to the rational ordering and organization of human thought and knowledge.
