	Iconoclasm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iconoclasm is the destruction of religious icons and other symbols or monuments, usually for religious or political motives.
		Iconoclasm may be carried out by people of a different religion, but is often the result of sectarian disputes between factions of the same religion.
		The chief theological opponents of iconoclasm were the monks Mansur (John of Damascus), who, living in Muslim territory as advisor to the Caliph of Damascus, was far enough away from the Byzantine emperor to evade retribution, and Theodore the Studite, who lived within the Empire.

	J. Max Patrick- Iconoclasm, the Complement of Utopianism
		Bellamy’s genius was to translate this iconoclasm into American terms: the effectiveness of his book lies in his using a new utopian society as one means of contributing to the destruction of an old one.
		His work’s potency lay in his exposing the intolerable nature of the old society by using an imagined one as a norm whereby to judge the old, and as a standard, measured by which the old was seen to be both destructible and in need of destruction.
		In sum, iconoclasm is the complement of utopianism; overemphasis on utopias as models must not he allowed to obscure the normative and iconoclastic functions of utopias.

	[EMLS 4.2 (September, 1998): 16.1-5] 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).

	Review: Puritan Iconoclasm in the English Civil War
		The close association of Puritanism with a violent iconoclasm is at the heart of the partisan myth that the 1640-1660 period belongs to the history of politics and religion, not culture.
		Spraggon's narrative of the development of Puritan iconoclasm broadly confirms the now conventional historiographical position that there was widespread consensus in the Stuart church until the Laudian emphasis on the 'beauty of holiness' and devotional ceremony rapidly alienated the godly.
		This iconoclasm was obviously distinct from that of the Reformation 'in that its targets were within the Protestant church, a church which was already supposed to have been reformed of such things.'(p.

	6. The details about "Hindu iconoclasm"
		Goel’s elaborately argued thesis, tellingly left unmentioned here by Eaton, is precisely that Islamic iconoclasm in India follows a pattern set in the preceding centuries in West Asia and accepted as normative in Islamic doctrine.
		On the contrary, when Islamic iconoclasts cared to justify their acts in writing, it was invariably with reference to the Islamic doctrine and the Prophet’s precedents of idol-breaking and of the war of extermination against idolatry.
		Had he defended the thesis that iconoclasm is rooted in Islam itself, he would have done justice to the evidence from Islamic sources, yet he would have found it very hard to get published by Oxford University Press or reach the status of leading Islam scholar that he now enjoys.

		Plato, Besançon explains, articulated one of the central complications by arguing that we must look toward the divine, that it alone is worth contemplating but that representing it is futile sacrilegious, and inconceivable.
