ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 discusses Foucault’s analysis of Gérard Fromanger and denotes Foucault’s explicit return to representation with the aim of reclaiming imagery from mass media and advertising, in line with the Narrative Figuration movement’s artistic vision. In the essay on Fromanger, Foucault, the author shows, further develops the philosophical negotiations behind the aim to deal with, affect, and pass on images convinced of their entanglement and their autonomous transhumance in the world of matter and politics. Finally, the Russian feminist collective the Pussy Riot, with its 2012 action at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, is brought in to exemplify the materialization of an imagery in motion, YouTube images of young women bodies punk-praying in front of the iconostasis, spreading rapidly on the surface of appearances thus adding to the expressions of Russian Orthodox faith.
