Tensegrità, multivocità ed etica delle immagini

Abstract

Tensegrity, multivocity and the ethics of images When transposed to the field of philosophy, the notion of tensegrity can become the matrix to justify an approach to reality, based on the contextual action of several factors. This specificity is shown with reference to the photographs of patients allegedly hysterical, photographed at the end of the nineteenth century in the Hospital Salpêtrière in Paris. The ethics of images is anchored in this possibility. In fact, it is not indifferent with respect to both the modalities in which a knowledge can be correctly configured, and with respect to the role of the subject-spectator in such an operation.
