Ikona jako ikonostarcie
The Icon as Iconoclash

Summary/Abstract: A translation into the Polish of an article originally published in the book: Iconoclash (Karlsruhe 2002), with a new introduction by the author. The topic involves the “image wars” waged during the Reformation. Koerner showed their conceptual complexity, the co-dependence of both attitudes – iconoclastic and iconophilic, the dialectical relation of violence against images and the violence of images: image breaking always shadows image making; religious images are engines of the iconoclash (a term introduced by Bruno Latour: a moment of transition between having images and having done with images) that periodically destroys and renews them.
