“Iconomy” is a mix between the Greek eikôn (image, picture) and the oikonomia which referred to the fair management of exchanges. Here, however, the iconomy will be characterized by what must be described, after Marx, as an “aesthetic supermarket”, animated by what Walter Benjamin has led us to consider as an “innerved” sensibility.
