Symbolic Mediations: the image as a social bond

Abstract

It is well known that, when touched, lovers speak more of the love that unites them when it no longer exists. Let us remember, in this sense, the cry of Rimbaud asking to be emphatically modern. Enchantment? Invocation? In any case, paradoxical injunction insofar as it occurs when modernity has reached its apogee and can only then decline.
