Contemporary image controversies are manifestations of (geo-)political shifts and socio-cultural transformation processes in the 21st century. Based on case studies from different world regions, the authors analyze contemporary iconoclasms in art, media, and cultural heritage from theoretical and action-oriented, global and interdisciplinary perspectives.
