What does the study of iconography entail for scholars active
today? How does it intersect with the broad array of methodological
and theoretical approaches now at the disposal of art historians?
Should we still dare to use the term “iconography” to describe
such work? The seven essays collected here argue that we should.
Their authors set out to evaluate the continuing relevance of
iconographic studies to current art-historical scholarship by
exploring the fluidity of iconography itself over broad spans of
time, place, and culture. These wide-ranging case studies take a
diverse set of approaches as they track the transformation of
medieval images and their meanings along their respective paths,
exploring how medieval iconographies remained stable or changed;
how images were reconceived in response to new contexts, ideas, or
viewerships; and how modern thinking about medieval
images—including the application or rejection of traditional
methodologies—has shaped our understanding of what they signify.
These essays demonstrate that iconographic work still holds a
critical place within the rapidly evolving discipline of art
history as well as within the many other disciplines that
increasingly prioritize the study of images. This inaugural volume
in the series Signa: Papers of the Index of Medieval Art at
Princeton University demonstrates the importance of keeping matters
of image and meaning—regardless of whether we use the word
“iconography”—at the center of modern inquiry into medieval
visual culture. In addition to the editors, the contributors to
this volume are Kirk Ambrose, Charles Barber, Catherine Fernandez,
Elina Gertsman, Jacqueline E. Jung, Dale Kinney, and D. Fairchild
Ruggles.
