Utrecht]]Iconoclasm is the deliberate destruction within a culture of the
culture's own religious icons and other symbols or monuments, usually for
religious or political motives. It is a frequent component of major
domestic political or religious changes. It is thus generally distinguished
from the destruction by one culture of the images of another, for example
by the Spanish in their American conquests. The term does not generally
encompass the specific destruction of images of a ruler after his death or
overthrow (damnatio memoriae), for example Akhenaten in Ancient Egypt.
People who engage in or support iconoclasm are called iconoclasts, a term
that has come to be applied figuratively to any person who breaks or
disdains established dogmata or conventions
