Through this volume, we address crucial themes such as privacy and power, violence and social behavior, technology and ethics. In addition, we have enriched our analysis with selected texts by renowned authors such as Octavia Butler, Don DeLillo, Jean Baudrillard, Thomas Elsaesser, Anne Carson, Guy Debord, Marshall McLuhan and Barbara Kruger, among others. This new phase of THE-ICONOMIST is inspired by the curator Scott Watson, who in 1977 noted that “we are all image banks, we all live in an image bank, we carry an image bank, and we have the power to intervene in that image bank”.
