Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present

All cultures make and break images. Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present explores how and why people have made and modified images and other cultural material from pre-history into the 21st century. With its impressive chronological sweep and disciplinary breadth this is the first book about iconoclasm (the breaking of images) and the transformation of broader sets of signs that includes contributions from archaeologists curators and museum conservators as well as historians of art literature and religious studies. The chapters examine themes critical to the study of iconoclasm: violence punishment memory intentionality ruins and relics and their survival. The conclusion shows how cross-disciplinary debate amongst the contributors informed Tate Britain’s 'Art under Attack' exhibition (2013) and addresses the challenges iconoclasm presents to the modern museum. By juxtaposing objects and places usually considered in isolation Striking Images raises provocative questions about our understandings of cross-cultural differences and the value of representational objects from the broken swords of pre-historical bog graves to the Bamiyan Buddhas and contemporary art. Are any such objects ever ’finished’ or are they simply subject to constant transformation? In dialogue with each other the essays consider this question and expand the field of iconoclasm - and cultural - studies.

More Words about Pictures Current Research on Picturebooks and Visual/Verbal Texts for Young People

This volume represents the current state of research on picture books and other adjacent hybrid forms of visual/verbal texts such as comics graphic novels and book apps with a particular focus on texts produced for and about young people. When Perry Nodelman’s Words about Pictures: the Narrative Art of Children’s Picture Books was published almost three decades ago it was greeted as an important contribution to studies in children’s picture books and illustration internationally; and based substantially on it Nodelman has recently been named the 2015 recipient of the International Grimm Award for children’s literature criticism. In the years since Words About Pictures appeared scholars have built on Nodelman’s groundbreaking text and have developed a range of other approaches both to picture books and to newer forms of visual/verbal texts that have entered the marketplace and become popular with young people. The essays in this book offer 'more words' about established and emerging forms of picture books providing an overview of the current state of studies in visual/verbal texts and gathering in one place the work being produced at various locations and across disciplines. Essays exploring areas such as semiological and structural aspects of conventional picture books graphic narratives and new media forms and the material and performative cultures of picture books represent current work not only from literary studies but also media studies art history ecology Middle Eastern Studies library and information studies and educational research. In addition to work by international scholars including William Moebius Erica Hateley Nathalie op de Beeck and Nina Christensen that carries on and challenges the conclusions of Words about Pictures the collection also includes a wide-ranging reflection by Perry Nodelman on continuities and changes in the current interdisciplinary field of study of visual/verbal texts for young readers. Providing a look back over the history of picture books and the development of picture book scholarship More Words About Pictures also offers an overview of our current understanding of these intriguing texts. | More Words about Pictures Current Research on Picturebooks and Visual/Verbal Texts for Young People
