SUMMARY:

This research analyzes the Iconoclastic Controversy (730-843) that occurred in the Byzantine Empire during the 8th and 9th centuries. The purpose of this investigation is to examine the disputes surrounding Spaces of Memory during Byzantine Iconoclasm. The concept of Memory Space used here comes from the writings of Aleida and Jan Assmann, the same authors of Cultural Memory. These concepts help to understand the dispute surrounding the icon (holy image), the main memory space present in the Iconoclastic Process. In this context, the “Three Treatises on Divine Images” by the monk John Damascene, the first work to defend holy images, helps to discern the memorial role of icons in Byzantine Christian liturgy. Finally, the production of coins, icons, and architectural works of the time reveal an attempt to construct or continue the same Cultural Memory.
