Long hair don’t care. The world is sick, so kiss me quick. Audaces Fortuna Iuvat. Martini & Cigarettes. Brave and faithful. Save the world, kill yourself. Bivium Virtutis et Vitii. Pfff. A l’époque où Myspace existait encore, à côté de la photo de profil et du pseudonyme trônait une rubrique emblématique que chaque utilisateur devait remplir : « headline ». Différente du « statut » de Facebook, la « headline » ne laisse pas la place aux humeurs passagères mais incite l’utilisateur de Myspace à se doter d’une devise, un mot d’ordre puissant et immuable digne de le représenter face au monde. Cet ouvrage est une collection de headlines glanées sur Myspace et ailleurs. Il met aussi en perspective ces devises modernes avec la tradition des imprese italiennes chères aux riches familles florentines ainsi qu’à l’art de l’emblème, de l’héraldique et du cri de guerre. Et vous quelle est votre devise ?
