The global icon is an omnipresent but poorly understood element of mass culture. This book asks why audiences around the world have embraced a small number of iconic figures & what this tells us about cross-border, trans-cultural relations since the Cold War. Prestholdt addresses these questions by examining one type of figure: the `anti-system` icon. These popular icons are symbols of alienation & aspiration that have been integrated into diverse political & consumer cultures. To illustrate these points the book examines four of the most evocative & controversial figures of the past fifty years: Ernesto Che Guevara, Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur & Osama bin Laden. Each has embodied a convergence of dissent, cultural politics & consumerism, yet the popularity of each reveals the dissonance between shared, global references & locally contingent traditions. By examining four very different figures, Icons of Dissent offers new insights into transnational symbolic idioms, the mutability of common references & the commodification of political sentiment in the contemporary world. ...

The Platonic figures, the ‘supreme expression of the majesty of geometry’, were revered by philosophers & mathematicians of ancient Greece & the Renaissance. The mysterious powers of mathematics & science & its application to art were a favorite study of the quintessential Renaissance man, Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519). His delicately shaded illustrations of polyhedrons appears in Luca Pacioli’s 1509 book De divina proportione. These shapes were thought to be related to the elements: the cube to Earth, tetrahedron to fire, octahedron to air, icosahedron to water, & dodecahedron to heavenly ether. Enjoy the classic beauty & pleasing proportions of these timelessly intriguing shapes. The h&-crafted joints of solid wood are finished with distressed French honey tones.
