The word 'iconoclasm' is most often used in relation to sculpture,
because it is sculptures that most visibly bear witness to physical
damage. But damage can also be invisible, and the actions of
iconoclasm can be subtle and varying. Iconoclastic acts include the
addition of objects and accessories, as well as their removal, or
may be represented in text or imagery that never materially affects
the original object. This book brings together a collection of
essays each of which fundamentally questions the meaning of the
word iconoclasm as a descriptive category. Each contribution
examines the impact of iconoclastic acts on different
representational forms, and assesses the development and historical
implications of these various destructive and transformative
behaviours.
