The book examines the process of symbolic and material alteration
of religious images in antiquity, the middle ages and the modern
period. The process by which the form and meaning of images are
modified and adapted for a new context is defined by a large number
of spiritual, religious, artistic, geographical or historical
circumstances. This book provides a defined theoretical framework
for these symbolic and material alterations based on the concept of
iconotropy; that is, the way in which images change and/or alter
their meaning. Iconotropy is a key concept in religious history,
particularly for periods in which religious changes, often
turbulent, took place. In addition, the iconotropic process of
appropriating cult images brought with it changes in the
materiality of those images. Numerous accounts from antiquity, the
middle ages and the modern period detail how cult images were
involved in such processes of misinterpretation, both symbolically
and materially. The book will be of interest to scholars working in
art history, visual culture and religious history.
