“…The act of iconoclasm signals not just that that commemorated is now forgotten; it continually reiterates that the forgotten are forgotten (Elsner 2003). Clay (2012b) proposes that representations should be considered as signs that are decoded and interpreted by communities according to their backgrounds, beliefs and cultural experience. He stresses that 'breaching the physical integrity', i.e.…”

This paper provides a framework to highlight the entanglement of discovery and historiography based on the example of the rock-relief figure of Karabel (Turkey), a pivotal monument to recognize the Hittites and the biblical past. I lay out the common narrative of the re-discovery's story that resemble a hagiography, and I put it into perspective with critiques from post-colonial studies. Due to the ongoing damage at the figure of Karabel, I hypothesize that the one-sided role of the monument in the story of the re-discovery of the Hittites by western scholars is insufficient to avoid the radical rejection of the Karabel relief by some people. This article is theory-in-practice: it highlights some pitfalls and tells a story with more diversity, open thought, and considerations beyond traditional narratives of power in passéist oriental archaeology.

“…It has been done across time and space. For example, in Mesopotamia figures have been defaced against their agency and to protect against their power (Bahrani 1995; 2017); or during the French Revolution to signal (re)appropriation (Clay 2012b). The notion of heritage, however, has a much shorter history (Choay 2009).…”

In this article we map heritage destruction in Myanmar's Rakhine state. We outline the historic and contemporary political context in Myanmar explaining the background of the Rohingya Muslim ethnic group and addressing the contribution of religion and political change to anti-Rohingya discrimination and violence in Myanmar. We trace patterns of heritage destruction as legal and/or illegal iconoclasm and specify the key elements of heritage destruction in Rakhine state. Our analysis focusses on the use of heritage destruction in Rakhine state as a tool of genocide, and we suggest that heritage destruction in Myanmar's Rakhine state ought to be understood as part the authorities' policies of genocide against the Rohingya. We conclude the article with a call for UNESCO to act to extend its Unite4Heritage campaign to include the destruction of heritage by state actors.

«Gli abbiamo tagliato la testa». Repertori e attori dell'iconoclastia politica nelle Puglie del 1848-49

L'articolo si focalizza sulle forme di violenza iconoclasta durante la mobilitazione del 1848-49 nelle province di Puglia. Al centro dell'analisi vi è l'attenzione sulle pratiche simboliche di dissenso politico, che vedono nelle immagini reali il loro bersaglio per il recupero di spazi d'azione. La presenza del regime nelle aree periferiche del Regno delle Due Sicilie era spesso determinata da un ampio repertorio di busti, statue e ritratti che diventano obbiettivi sensibili durante le proteste nei confronti del sovrano. Il pattern iconoclasta è riletto attraverso la risemantizzazione di questa pratica in chiave politica, in quanto evoluzione delle manifestazioni collettive popolari che in passato fungono da strumento di risoluzione delle controversie locali, e che nell'ottocento assumono una rilevante portata comunicativa. La rottura definitiva dei rapporti politici tra le élites locali e la monarchia, dopo gli eventi del 15 maggio a Napoli, porta ai tentativi di liberazione dello spazio pubblico provinciale dai simboli reali con la successiva instaurazione di nuove idee e forme politiche che mirano a coinvolgere la maggioranza della popolazione attraverso l'esecuzione figurata del sovrano.
