From the Byzantine soldiers charged with removing the portrait of Christ from the Bronze Gate to the Imperial Palace to the Suffragette attacks on art in British galleries, to today's activists tearing down colonial statues in the West. Alongside the dominant images, icons and narratives, there have always been alternative competing ones, ready to take up the slack at the appropriate moment. And alongside the fanatical iconoclasts uncompromisingly destroying all signs of a hostile ideology, there was a parallel crowd of equally fanatical iconoclasts who defended the existing symbols to their last breath.
