Sumario:Bloody, fiery spectacles - the Challenger disaster, 9/11, JFK's assassination - have given us moments of catastrophe that make it easy to answer the 'where were you when' question and shape our ways of seeing what came before and after. But why are these spectacles so packed with meaning? In 'The Iconoclastic Imagination', Ned O'Gorman approaches each of these moments as an image of icon-destruction that give us distinct ways to imagine social existence in American life.
