Iconoclastic Controversies: A Photographic Inquiry into Antagonistic Nationalism

Autor Nico Carpentier
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2021
A visual sociology of statues and commemoration sites in Cyprus.

The book combines photography and written text to analyze the role of memorials and commemoration sites in the construction of antagonistic nationalism. Taking Cypriot memorializations as a case study, the book shows how these memorials often support, but sometimes also undermine, the discursive-material assemblage of nationalism.

Recenzii

“. . . . Makes broader theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions to discursive-material analysis, media and communication studies, memory and nationalism studies, visual sociology studies, and Cypriot studies. In terms of theory, Carpentier develops a knowledge cluster of nationalism in visual communication, identifying an ontological and epistemological pathway to a deeper understanding of the possibility of a transformative mechanism from antagonistic nationalism to agonistic nationalism. More importantly, the author brings materiality into the construction of nationalism that legitimates a model of combining discursive ideologies with the role of material objects, thus articulating both the nation-as-people and the nation-(as-)state as a core stance in this project to signify dispersed national identities.” 

“The Iconoclastic Controversies project focuses on a complex context, and the author is aware of the inherent ambiguities and complexities. It is a rich, sophisticated, and well-conducted project with interdisciplinary contributions, especially with its successful attempt to allow for further societal discussions. This short book reflects all phases of the project from the beginning to the end and captures the reader with its well-written theoretical, contextual and empirical chapters, as well as the photographs taken for/during the exhibitions, interviews, and audio/visual materials. The book also develops the key theoretical framework on antagonistic nationalism, which provides foundational help to scholars interested in similar topics and contexts. Apart from its academic quality and contributions, the Iconoclastic Controversies project is of capital importance with its aim to contribute to the transformation of antagonistic conflict and peace-building. . . . The book as a whole provides an important resource for scholars and deserves a wide readership.”
