To stay for meaning. Efect of estrangement and subversion of the images

Abstract

The pages that follow are ordered according to certain philosophical and artistic motives that make possible and constitutive the modern experience of estrangement: first we will look into niestzschean confrontation between art and truth, trying to extract from it some hermeneutic tracks, and later, we will look for the conditions to observe how towards the middle part of the 19th century we witness a quarrel between the images and the signs, where the first ones strive detach, and displaying their own resources, form their traditional subordination –at least from the academicism of the 17th century– to the requirements of the meaning. Thus we will be able to provide ourselves with the necessary perspective to narrow attachment of the artistic sovereignty of the images with the modern opening destination of reversing of the Platonism
