Garneau de l’Isle-Adam Marie-Christine, « The Daguerreotype at the Crossroads of an Iconoclast Protestantism and an Iconophile Catholicism », Bulletin du Centre de recherche français à Jérusalem, ID : 10670/1.98ygs2
The American attitude towards the news technics of visual representation in the Nineteenth century deserves to be compared to the French attitude because these attitudes are not only different but they also reveal the distinctive features which characterize both countries. I will therefore offer a survey of these attitudes and an explanation for their difference. My analysis will show that the source of this difference may come (1) from the antic opposition between the Aristotelian iconophilia and the Platonic iconophobia; (2) from the resurgence of this opposition during the famous “Querelle des Images” and later during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation; (3) from the fact that, from the Schism to the Nineteenth century on, this opposition became a tidal wave which never stopped to develop.
