The book combines photography and written text to analyse 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.
'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.'
