| Description | Mikhail Maizuls’s book "Idol, Defend Yourself!" explores how people in the Middle Ages treated images, attributing to them almost human qualities. The author examines practices of damaging or "killing" images — from gouging out eyes in manuscript miniatures to destroying statues of saints and censoring nudity. These actions came from belief in the effective power of images: they could be punished, compelled to help, or neutralised as bearers of dangerous force. The author analyses religious conflicts, everyday rituals, and political upheavals to prove that violence against images formed part of a cultural norm. Mikhail Maizuls is a medievalist and a researcher of medieval visual culture. |
