Abstract
Author in the chapter argues that the naturalized, universalized image of historical inevitability and political meaningfulness it conveys is exactly that - image. But it is not just an image. It is a powerful icon. Different imageries have serious epistemic consequences. Bartmanski delineate these consequences and link them to cultural conditions of iconic power. The value of the case inheres in its potential to yield generalized insights into a broader issue, namely how icons work in society.
