Abstract
Challenging some of the most popular cultural fantasies of our time, which are often repeated as if they were dogmas, is the purpose of this article. Is there really a body language capable of speaking for us without uttering a word? Can an image be worth more than a thousand words, or is it just a 20th-century marketing strategy that survived into the 21st? And what about music censorship? As if censoring songs could be the solution to the conflicts society faces. No, the article does not aim to destroy illusions, although that would be a desirable side effect; rather, it carefully explores how these ideas reflect the way we understand—or misunderstand—language, images, and some other social dynamics. It does not aim to resolve the cultural fantasies of our time, but rather to question them. Because, if there is something we need in this 21st century saturated with information, images, and misinterpreted data, it is a bit more critique accompanied by discussion and reflection, and fewer unquestionable certainties.
