Content:
"To what extent does water constitute an archetypal element, producing moral values and prone to ambivalence? Myths abound with magical fountains, matricial rivers or deadly abysses. Water lends itself to rites of lustration or regenerating baptismal immersion. Circumnavigation has given rise to epic tales of conquest or exploration, populated by monsters and delights. The specificity of this volume is the knotting of the iconic and the verbal, by renewing our trust in the exemplary regime of art, most capable of apprehending the unpredictable, the ephemeral and the continuous. Against existential shipwrecks, water wars, proliferation of microplastics, scoriae of an unbridled productivism, a work like this one can raise awareness about the right to water, its beneficial virtues and its inexhaustible imaginary"--
