Images, pervasively present in our daily lives, wield the power to shape our perceptions, influence our opinions and direct our behaviour. The freedom of access to visual content, coupled with the democratisation of production and sharing processes, is an expression of a technologically advanced society but also of the ease of manipulation implemented precisely through images. The primordial communicative function of images and their habitual instrumental use thus reveal the urgency of a profound reflection on their ethical role and social responsibility.
In a dissonant cultural context, animated by a constructive orientation towards the plural valorisation of differences, respect for resources and the safeguarding of rights, but at the same time dramatically wounded by the exacerbation of conflicts, individualism and the incapacity for dialogue, the question that invests those involved in the study and production of visual artefacts is an inescapable call for the recognition and reaffirmation of their ethical roots.
Images construct individual and collective identities, define aesthetic and behavioural canons, and promote cultural values; images can affirm or deny, welcome or exclude, accuse or defend, protect or violate, understand or discriminate. Awareness of this social role and the ethical implications that arise from images requires critical capacity in their interpretation and design consciousness in their production.
The fifth edition of the IMG conference invites the scientific community to engage in a dialogue on the ethical value of images in society, assuming transversality and interdisciplinarity as its distinctive features and as an opportunity to open a debate on topics of collective interest.
The city hosting the conference embodies the symbolic value of a place for dialogue and experimentation oriented towards the ethical culture of graphic production and communication. The images of the Stories of St. Francis painted by Giotto in the Upper Basilica and their ethical values assume the evocative power of inspirational elements.
The contributions will be able to present theoretical-critical reflections, practices and case studies marked by ethical communication, tools for ethical design, and present and future challenges introduced by the ethical dimension. The contributions may touch on one or more of the Topics, specific areas of study and application and must refer to one of the Inspirations, ethical messages from Franciscan teaching.
