One of the main challenges that representationalism must face is to consistently account for the possibility of scenarios in which covert attention alters the phenomenology of our visual experiences. The present work tries to highlight the internal commitments and difficulties of three different representational strategies to face this challenge: the strategy of indeterminate content, the strategy of mass illusion and the narcissistic project that appeals to relational properties indexed to attention. It will be argued that the latter has evident comparative virtues that the literature has ignored and that justifyits in-depth development.
