After the epochal turn of 1989 a new wave of movies dealing with the complex entanglement of religious and national identity has emerged in the eastern part of Europe. There has been plenty of evidence for a return of nationalism, while the predicated 'return of religion(s)' is envisaged on a larger scale as a global phenomenon. The book suggests that in the wake of the historical turns of 1989, an 'iconic turn' has taken place in Eastern Europe – in the form of a renewed cinematic commitment to make sense of the world in religious and/or national terms. 'Iconic Turns' combines theoretical articles on the subject with case studies, bringing together researchers from different national backgrounds and disciplines, such as history, literary and film studies. Contributors include: Eva Binder, Jan Čulík, Liliya Berezhnaya, Christian Schmitt, Hans-Joachim Schlegel, Maren Röger, Mirosław Przylipiak, Stephen Norris, John-Paul Himka, Maria Falina, and Natascha Drubek.

The "bulwark" or antemurale myth--whereby a region is imagined as a defensive barrier against a dangerous Other--has been a persistent strand in the development of Eastern European nationalisms. While historical studies of the topic have typically focused on clashes and overlaps between sociocultural and religious formations, Rampart Nations delves deeper to uncover the mutual transfers and multi-sided national and interconfessional conflicts that helped to spread bulwark myths through Europe's eastern periphery over several centuries. Ranging from art history to theology to political science, this volume offers new ways of understanding the political, social, and religious forces that continue to shape identity in Eastern Europe.

Der Sammelband widmet sich den gesellschaftsgeschichtlichen Aspekten der Verehrung von militarisierten Heiligen von der Spätantike bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Blick richtet sich auf geographische, typologische, interkonfessionelle, chronologische Verflechtungen der Kriegerheiligenkulte, ferner auf Medien, Akteure und Symbolsprachen der Militarisierung. In 12 Beiträgen thematisieren deutsche, amerikanische, ungarische und niederländische Theologen, Kunsthistoriker und Historiker anhand ausgewählter Beispiele die Hauptdynamiken, Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten in der Militarisierung der Heiligen in der Vormoderne und Moderne – in einer Perspektive, die verschiedene christliche Traditionen in Ost und West gleichermaßen beleuchtet. Dabei wird klar, dass das Auftreten von Krisensituationen fast immer zu einer »Reaktivierung« des Kriegerheiligenpotentials führt. Umgekehrt werden manche Kriegerheilige auch wieder »demilitarisiert«, wenn in friedlicheren Zeiten die friedensstiftende Funktion des Christentums und Motive der Nachahmung des gewaltlosen Christus in den Vordergrund treten.
