Résumé
The physical and virtual spaces in which we move are marked with the stamp of visual saturation. This allows the cultural codes that rule our society to circulate with unprecedented freedom, keeping any possibility of change through a system of representation at bay. Given these circumstances, what can the expression “the politics of images” possibly mean? At the point where a materialist philosophy of the image converges with the post-colonial perspectives opened up by Cultural Studies, this article proposes a shift in the way images are envisaged, from their semiological mode (what they mean) to their performative mode (how they act), in order to analyse the material, technological and social conditions in which they are inserted and to establish the conditions for re-appropriating the system of representation by minorities.
