Samenvatting
Why do people attack monuments and other public objects charged with authority by the societies that produced them? What do open assaults on images and artworks mean? Iconoclasm, the principled destruction of images, has recurred throughout human history as theory and practice. Seven historical studies of the changing causes and meanings of iconoclasm and the radical transformation of the function of images it has brought around in the world: iconoclasm in the early Indian mosque, in revolutionary Mexico 1910-40, Byzantine and ancient Egyptian iconoclasm, the devotional image after Netherlandish iconoclasm.
