This book offers critical perspectives on the digital 'iconic',
exploring how the notion of the iconic is re-appropriated and
re-made online, and the consequences for humanity and society.
Examining cross-cultural case studies of iconic images in digital
spaces, the author offers original and critical analyses, theories
and perspectives on the notion of the 'iconic', and on its
movement, re-appropriation and meaning making on digital platforms.
A carefully curated selection of case studies illustrates topics
such as phantom memory; martyrdom; denigration and pornographic
recoding; digital games as simulacra; and memes as 'artification'.
Situating the notion of the iconic firmly within contemporary
cultures, the author takes a thematic approach to investigate the
iconic as an unstable and unfinished phenomenon online as it
travels through platforms temporally and spatially. The book will
be an important resource for academics and students in the areas of
media and communications, digital culture, cultural studies, visual
communication, visual culture, journalism studies and digital
humanities.
