Visual Education and the Care of the Figuring Self. Mr. Palomar's Exercises as Pedagogy

Summary: This paper reassesses the educational affordances of digital screens and highlights the screen's technological 'plasticity' and subjectifying potentialities. By delving into the historical-philosophical genealogy of iconoclasm, the paper explores the aesthetic-political ambivalence surrounding the icon’s screenic agency and calls for moving beyond neoliberal screening politics.
