Communication as ... iconophilic

My ultimate wish is for a theory of the icon that does not depend upon iconophobia. As currently conceived, communication theory cannot deliver. I have suggested here that analogy may be one way to frame a noniconophobic theory of communication. An iconopholic theory of communication as vision would neither uncritilly “worship” images (idolatry) nor approach them out of fear (iconophobia). Rather, it would make space for communication scholars to embrace visual communication as analogy, as an “artful invention” to be engaged openly by active viewers.
