	Political Iconography as a Visual Language (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Political iconography is an interesting topic of study in part due to its persistence as an important medium for the representation of political power.
		This hypothesis is however largely unfounded: drastic improvements in literacy levels throughout the world in the 20 th Century have not led to a decrease in the importance of the visual in politics.
		Further some have speculated that the importance of political iconography was tied to technological impediments: in the absence of methods for mass diffusion of the spoken or written word, visual symbols such as coins bearing the image of the sovereign, statues honoring political heroes, or military uniforms became more important.

		The study of Iconography looks at how the Shroud image, rediscovered in Edessa in 525 AD was the progenitor of all the images of Christ that followed.
		Some of the common characteristics between the Shroud and many icon images are: the large hollow eyes, forked beard, a sprock of hair in the middle of forehead, a flattened nose, raised cheeks, and most pronounced is a double line across the neck which corresponds with a fold line on the Shroud.

	Iconography and the Transect \| Planetizen (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When I use the term "iconography" I refer to the whole body of symbols which are intelligible to a particular people: everything from the Scales of Justice which we usually find outside a courthouse, to coats of arms, to architectural moldings and ornaments.
		Hence, the iconography, both architectural and non-architectural, is less elaborate and less specific--often no more than a pineapple over the front entrance to symbolize domestic hospitality.
		But iconography, and the issue of meaning with which it is bound up, is the only credible way of beginning a serious discussion of language that avoids the subjective premises of style.

	Jehovah's Witness Iconography
		There is a significant tension in Witness discourse between the Watchtower Society representation of itself as a global culture or international organization that has transcended the divisive particularities of race, ethnicity, nationality, language, etc., and the Society's desire to encompass and accommodate various expressions of cultural diversity and local particularities.
		Witness literature and iconography indicates that uniformity and univocality within the Society exists not only at the level of explicit belief and formal practice, but that this homogenizing dynamic extends even to uniformity of dress and grooming, as well as a conspicuous tendency toward lexical univocality at least among American English-speaking Witnesses.
		That emphasis on uniformity and univocality stands in provocative contrast with the Society's selective celebration of cultural and ethnic diversity in, for example, its contemporary iconographic representations of life in paradise and in the routine inclusion in Society publications of photographs taken at Witness assemblies and conventions around the world.
