Abstract
The text explores Gaston Bachelard’s philosophy as a foundation for an ethics and politics of images in the contemporary digital age. Faced with an overproduction of algorithmic and artificial images, it argues for reviving the creative and transformative power of imagination. Bachelard’s poetics becomes an ethical response to the atrophy of imagination and a political tool against the commodification of visibility. His thought proposes an “ecology of the imaginary,” reconnecting human creativity with material and cosmic forces. Imagination emerges as a liberating, ethical, and educational force for transforming both self and world.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
