• 'The First Period of Iconoclasm', 726-87: Yazid II issues iconoclast edict in Damascus, 723; submarine eruption, icon of Virgin removed from Chalke (Bronze) gate, 726; silention convened, Patriarch Germanos resigns, 730; (Seventh) 'Iconoclast' Church Council, 754; death of St. ...
• Iconoclasm, literally the destruction of images, was the most significant issue affecting Byzantium between 717 and 787. ... Thus Cyril Mango wrote: 'First, it is as well to remember that the historian of Iconoclasm, like any other historian, has to work within the limits of his source of material. ' Dissenting voices have continued to demand a better reading of those sources, not least Mango's suggesting that 'the issue of Iconoclasm was deliberately magnified by its opponents. ... Moreover, increasingly excavations at churches in the provinces have revealed frescoes and mosaics of Christ, the virgin and the saints dating from the period of Iconoclasm. By implication we might believe that Iconoclasm was not universally enforced -- as we have hitherto believed -- and its prominence is merely a reflection of the obsessions of the few literate, and victorious Iconodules. Indeed, we might ask whether the phrase 'period of Iconoclasm' has any relevance except in a theological context. ...
• Another direction recent scholarship has taken, and one which I consider more frutiful, seeks to explore the significance of Iconoclasm as a point of entry into the Byzantine cultural system -- a phrase borrowed from anthropologists, for example Clifford Geertz, who wrote authoritatively on 'Religion as a cultural system'; and into what we might call the empire's 'Sociology of Knowledge' -- that is, what those within the society believed constituted knowledge, who had authority over it. Such anthropological and sociological ideas have been applied by, for example, Averil Cameron to the issue of Iconoclasm. ...
• If we follow Cameron, we may conclude that the veneration of Icons, and Iconoclasm were alternative responses to the issue of authority and knowledge in Byzantine society; a society which had undergone a radical intellectual realignment, in tandem with a total economic and political transformation. ...

• Kelly, Michael, Iconoclasm and Aesthetics, Cambridge, 2003, 204pp, $60. ...
• In this crisply argued and probing monograph, Michael Kelly contends that iconoclasm - understood as a "combination of disinterest and distrust in art that stems from a tendency to inscribe a deficiency into the very conception (or ontology) of art" (xi) - is a pervasive effect of the way in which even philosophers apparently sympathetic to art conceptualize it. ... Iconoclasm, then, is the upshot of a systematic dehistoricizing of art in the name of a putative universality the philosopher brings to his encounter with art.
• In prosecuting this thesis, Kelly pointedly triangulates each philosopher with both an artist and an art critic or historian in order to demonstrate exactly how a philosophical interest can reveal itself, in a concrete and specific instance, as disinterest, which can thus stand for the iconoclasm of that position generally. ...
• Kelly's espousal of the claims of the history of art, including art's own continual implicit reflective self-comprehension, is a welcome, pointed and procedurally apt response to his diagnosis of iconoclasm - there can be no doubt that more attention to concrete cases is a step toward a more self-aware philosophy of art. ... Does sheer responsiveness to and interest in art historical detail necessarily provide insurance against iconoclasm? Buchloh's ascription of a systematically negative practice of painting to Richter cannot easily be aligned with the Adorno of Aesthetic Theory since there, as everywhere, negation dialectically turns into affirmation, art's materialist promise of happiness. ...
• These quibbles over his use of art history aside, one may regard Kelly's argument about philosophy's iconoclasm as a refinement and extension of Danto's idea that every encounter between art and philosophy becomes a philosophical disenfranchisement of art, and that indeed historically philosophy has assured itself of its authority through its dissolution of the authority of art. ...
• If these really are the theoretical linchpins of Heidegger's art doctrine, then a claim of iconoclasm must confront them in particular. Isn't the notion of the earth an attempt to insure art and philosophy against iconoclasm?.
• Iconoclasm could be the effect of this account of art's deficiencies - its semblance character, its poverty and impotence - were they necessary attributes of artworks; but for Adorno at least some of art's deficiencies are local, that is, products only of the modern, autonomous work of art. ...
• When revealed as such, this false appearance leads us to distrust art and this distrust is, along with the disinterest Derrida has already proudly displayed, what generates iconoclasm" (108). ...
• Ironically, Danto falls outside this pattern despite the fact that his conception of the philosophical disenfranchisement of art is the conceptual origin of Kelly's concept of iconoclasm. ... This does strike me as iconoclasm. ...
• In insisting against Kelly that central to each is a prima facie anti-iconoclasm thesis, I do not mean to suggest that each thesis is true, or deny that with further probing an iconoclasm of just the sort that Kelly urges will be shown to be present. The more modest thought is just that until we have accurately in place the depth of each of their critiques of iconoclasm, their sense of why art matters, and hence why a discourse of poverty, indigence, deficiency, opacity and the like may be utterly appropriate to appreciating the claims of art, and hence that philosophy's interest in art may rightfully be an interest in art's deficiencies, until all that is sorted we cannot accurately or confidently distinguish between a philosophical appreciation of art and a philosophical repudiation of art.

• On the Limits of Representation in Byzantine Iconoclasm.
• Figure and Likeness presents a thought-provoking new account of Byzantine iconoclasm--the fundamental crisis in Christian visual representation during the eighth and ninth centuries that defined the terms of Christianity's relationship to the painted image. ... Instead, he argues, iconoclasm is primarily a matter of theology and aesthetic theory.
• In highlighting this outcome and also in offering a full and clearly rendered account of iconoclastic notions of Christian representation, Barber reveals that the notion of art was indeed central to the unfolding of iconoclasm. ...
• "There has not been a good general overview of Byzantine iconoclasm and image theory from the point of view of art history. ...
• Taking as a challenge the widely held view that iconoclasm was the work of theologians that had little to do with the actual production of art, he succeeds in demonstrating the contrary. ...
• "This book aims to recover for art history notions of form, likeness, and representation as discussed during Byzantine iconoclasm. ...

• Carnal Rhetoric: Milton's Iconoclasm and the Poetics of Desire. ...
• "Review of Carnal Rhetoric: Milton's Iconoclasm and the Poetics of Desire. ...
• Milton, she argues, wants to tap into his readers' transformative desires through the interplay of iconoclasm and imagination, a "dynamic clash of destructive and constructive energies" (4), yet this process is trapped within a rhetoric that desires transcendence but is mindful of its mortality. Milton's readers, then, are to bear "fervent witness" to his iconoclasm and shake their complacency in reified images, the mistaken belief that treats "representations of truth as truth itself" (158). ... But, while acknowledging the power of Milton's metaphoric passages to overwhelm his more rational, temporal argument, Cable's analysis of the affective stylistics of Milton's iconoclasm is, itself, drawn away from some of the key issues and contexts that those passages overwhelm, leading Cable into some problematic binaries that overcompensate for what she sees as a too rational bias in metaphor theory.
• This binarism of literal-figurative, and its accompanying binary of prose-poetry, is evident in the book's final chapter which turns to the poetry, Samson Agonistes, as the most consummate expression of Milton's iconoclasm. ...

• Taliban, Image-War, and Iconoclasm.
• One aspect of the Taliban's ultra-iconoclasm has been Saudi-born Wahhabism--the fringe sect in Islam that has dominated self-representation of Islam recently through its massive funding and propaganda. ...
• The two elements have linked and compounded one another: We have a modern-born sect, Wahhabism, that came to dominance by sitting on the major oil supply of the world combining with a post-modern or communications-age globalized war of icon vs iconoclasm.
• Wahhabi iconoclasm appeals to those who feel invaded by images. ...
• He probes the way in which radical monotheism and radical iconoclasm are linked in the roots of the Abrahamic tradition and raises troubling questions about how such elements of the traditions can be made compatible with an acceptance of the religious other. ...
• But the icon wars that are now taking place do relate, I think,do relate to the radical iconoclasm within Abrahamic traditions. (An iconoclasm shared by us Quakers, who, back in the days of George Fox, used to be much more fierce that most of us Quakers are today, and truly scary to the rest of the world as they burst into Church services and angrily denounced the blasphemy of churches and images). Of course not all people in monotheistic traditions, or even most, or even a large minority, take the implications of iconoclasm to their extreme limit. ...
