There has been plenty of evidence for a return of nationalism, while the predicated \'return of religion(s)\' is envisaged on a larger scale as a global phenomenon. The book suggests that in the wake of the historical turns of 1989, an \'iconic turn\' has taken place in Eastern Europe – in the form of a renewed cinematic commitment to make sense of the world in religious and/or national terms. \'Iconic Turns\' combines theoretical articles on the subject with case studies, bringing together researchers from different national backgrounds and disciplines, such as history, literary and film studies.
