s it we who speak through words or do words speak through us? One of the distinguishing characteristics of certain kinds of contemporary art lies in the criticism of the picture. This type of art is based on the conviction that there is nothing natural in language, nor is there anything external to it, since it is through language that we understand the world and it is the vehicle by which others relate to us and we to them. But this representation is not neutral: it is immersed in a power structure… and what is more, it strives to achieve power.
