Abstract

The article brings together two productions from different fields, the book The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and the work of Marcel Duchamp, especially With My Tongue on My Cheek, to treat them as tips of the same iceberg, namely the change of the historical paradigmatic sign regime referenced in the symbol for the post-historic, which has the index as reference, according to the definitions of Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics, as well as the influence of technical images in this process, based on the analysis of Vilém Flusser, which focuses on the cultural dynamics of the West, and the resumption of the hegemony of imagination inherent in the domain of logic that produces meaning by devices.
