| Summary: | In the presentation issue of the Journal –Images think, thinking with images– we intend to define the methodology we claim in our research group, i.e., to take the artistic practices –or simply the images– as the starting point to examine the official narratives, and to use for this purpose the format we consider appropriate in each moment: texts, classes, conferences, exhibitions, artistic practice, etc. As the image is always partial, sensible and specific, working with images induces us necessarily to create a series of small narratives which, in one way or another, deflect slowly the big knowledge blocks -the results of old concepts which are still imposed and which devise what is commonly known as ’hegemonic discourses’. These small narratives we create from the sensible quality –hence warm– of the image ’melt’ the big polar circles we are made of. It would be worthwhile to think a way to negotiate with them in order to avoid ending up going drifting in relativism.
