Description

Explore the complex history of iconoclasm with this academic volume from Routledge. This book examines the phenomenon of hostile actions toward images, a practice that has appeared across many different cultures throughout human history. By looking at the destruction and mutilation of images, the text investigates how political and religious ideas drive these behaviors. Readers will find a deep look into the various types of iconoclasm that exist, noting that the distinctions between them are not always absolute. The contributors to this volume study iconoclastic reactions to different types of objects, covering both the distant past and the very recent past. While the majority of the content focuses on historical periods, the scope remains broad enough to provide a comprehensive view of how image destruction functions in society. This is an essential resource for those interested in the intersection of art, religion, and politics.
