Abstract

Our social existence is increasingly contaminated by relations with images and the presence of the screen. From the perspective of understanding the spirit of the times, we can therefore highlight the construction of a vision of the world expressed by images and screens that form a particular dimension of the experience. How then do images and screens structure our social imaginary? What are the forms of the experiences of everyday life? Questions that will lead us to reflect on an existence in which seeing becomes a central action of the current social world through the perspective of screenology as an effect and condition of a technological and media environment in which screens must be thought of as inhabited surfaces.
