Image Controversies

In many contemporary societies we encounter iconoclasm breaking out with renewed violence. Iconoclastic actions against objects of visual material culture and testimonials of history act as dynamite in the public sphere. In this title, contemporary iconoclasms in art, media, & cultural heritage are critically analysed from both a global and an interdisciplinary perspective based on case studies from different world regions.
