PROSPERI, Germán Osvaldo. From Icon to Phantasm. Two Models of the Anthropological Machine. Eidos [online]. 2019, n.31, pp.114-142. ISSN 1692-8857.

According to Furio Jesi and Giorgio Agamben, the anthropological machine is a historical dispositive that produces images of 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 a-theological machine, after disappearance of God, that produces man as phantasm.

Palabras clave : archetype; phantasm; man; icon; image; anthropological machine.
