This publication engages with the militant image rather than seeking to define it. The militant image is as multiple as theories of social change and the conditions that must come together in order for change to happen. The militant image – perhaps ephemeral, elusive, whispering, and circulating at the threshold of invisibility – proposes that a new condition of the image seeks to respond to the radically uneven conditions of the present, yet the militant image always aims for future.
