Iconoclasm and Iconolatry. Image, Terrorism and Blindness.
14/10/2008 – 16/10/2008
Iconoclasm and Iconolatry. Image, Terrorism and Blindness.
Seminar devised by the journal Brumaria (Darío Corbeira y Carlos Jiménez)
October 14/16
This course will attempt to carry out, over the course of three days, a public and collective reflection, from different theoretical perspectives, on the nature and scope of the “clash of images” that has been part and parcel of the “war on terror” from the beginning. The Abu Grahib prison photographs, the videos of the arrest and execution of Sadam Husseim, the systematic concealment of North American casualties in Irak and the demonstrations throughout the Islamic world triggered by the Danish cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, have been some of the most notorious episodes –if by no means the only ones – of this clash. This call for a public reflection must take as a key analytical starting point the opposition between iconoclasm and iconolatry.
Speakers
Keti Chukhrov, Graham Coulter-Smith, Anthony Downey, Marco Scotini, Carlos Taibo y Joseba Zulaika
