Profane

The reasons for this issue are twofold. The first being that of illustrating situations that consciously take place in areas commonly understood as secular – one might even say worldly – to observe how through a skillful design of the image these have successfully established meritworthy macrocosms and offered standards for secular life. The second, to uncover the possibilities of language, focusing in particular on the possibility of desecrating it, and violating its underlying rules, canceling its sacred nature, infecting it with spurious elements, and misrepresenting it with its opposite.

We hope that the issue will be, as it was for us, an invitation to recognize the potential that lies in planned just as in spontaneous desecration of narrative codes. May it offer cause for reflection and some practicable suggestions. We are in no doubt about its urgency, since a new ecology of the body cannot be detached from a new ecology of communication.
