We know all too well the anxiety question par excellence, the disquieting “Che vuoi?” traversing our symbolically embedded lives. So, let me indulge a bit in this uncanny zone and ask: “Che vogliamo (Rex ed io)?”, what is our goal with this issue? Why did we start this project? To be honest, I’m more than uncomfortable with this question, as it pushes me dangerously close to the awkward regions of the Lacanian “Moi, la vérité, je parle”. Nevertheless, for the greater good let me play this role for a little while and do my best to outline an answer.
