Modernization and digital globalization have proven to mark major thresholds where paradigmatic shifts and realignments take place. This volume aims to capture the reconfiguration of humanistic study between the forces of global integration and cultural diversification from a full range of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences. The key issue is discussed in three major parts. The first chapter examines transnational interpolations of the humanities as potential indicator for a globalizing humanistic research. The second chapter deals with humanistic revisions of modernity with and against globality. The third chapter discusses the ambiguous constitution of cultural diversity as a complement and counter-movement to global integration, ideologically moving between social cohesion and exclusion. The final chapter outlines what the threshold-crossing from modern to global humanities will mean for the future of humanistic research.The multidisciplinary study of culture within the history of the humanities documents and reflects the mobility and migration of its concepts and methods, moving and translating between disciplines, research traditions, historical periods, academic institutions, and the public sphere.

Gegenwärtig brechen in verschiedenen Gesellschaften Ikonoklasmen mit neuer Gewalt auf. Angriffe gegen Objekte visueller materieller Kultur und Geschichtszeugnisse bieten Zündstoff für gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen. Sie sind Ausdruck politischer, religiöser, nationaler und identitätsbedingter Konflikte. Selbst die Freiheit der Kunst ist durch Zensur und Cancel Culture bedroht. In Fallstudien aus verschiedenen Regionen der Welt werden zeitgenössische Ikonoklasmen in Kunst, Medien und im Umgang mit dem Kulturerbe in globaler und interdisziplinärer Perspektive einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen. Die Publikation befasst sich mit Angriffen auf Denk- und Mahnmäler, Auseinandersetzungen in der Kunstproduktion und im Museumsbetrieb sowie mit Formen eines medialisierten Ikonoklasmus in der zeitgenössischen Kunst. In many contemporary societies we encounter iconoclasm breaking out with renewed violence. Iconoclastic actions against objects of visual material culture and testimonials of history act as dynamite in the public sphere. They are expressions of political, religious, national, and identity conflicts. Even the freedom of art is threatened by censorship and cancel culture. Based on case studies from different world regions, contemporary iconoclasms in art, media, and cultural heritage are critically analyzed from both a global and an interdisciplinary perspective. Divided into three sections, the book discusses attacks on monuments and memorials, idol disputes in museums and the visual arts, and forms of mediated iconoclasm in contemporary art.
