This
dossier of original essays examines the demolition of monuments in the
Middle East from the Napoléonic era to the present. The authors
describe the impact of obliterating architecture on our psyches,
cultures, philosophies, and historiographies. Tracing the mediatization
of demolition, and its traps and tropes, such as sensationalism and
anthropmorphization, these essays also explore the agencies and
capacities of threatened monuments.
