Il saggio propone una ricomprensione della nozione di immagine, intesa come una dimensione costitutivamente paradossale: come una identità-differenza di visibile e invisibile, ossia di trasparenza (il determinato) e opacità (l’indeterminato). Di qui il riconoscimento della temporalità interna che è propria delle immagini e, insieme, di quella loro capacità creativa e produttiva che fa tutt’uno con la loro funzione critica e testimoniale, in opposizione alle forme sempre più diffuse di iconoclastia e idolatria.
