From Icon to Phantasm. Two Models of the Anthropological Machine [Spanish]

Authors

Abstract

According to Furio Jesi and Giorgio Agamben, the anthropological machine is a historical artifact that produces images of the man. This paper aims at returning to this category and demonstrating that two models of the machine can be found depending on the nature of the image produced: the theological-biblical machine that operates until 19th century and that produces man as icon, and the atheological machine, after disappearance of God, that produces the man as phantasm.
