DestroyedDisappearedLostNever Were ICMA Books | Viewpoints The book DestroyedDisappearedLostNever Were ICMA Books | Viewpoints, written by various authors, delves into the challenges of studying medieval works of art, artifacts, and monuments that have been lost or destroyed over time. The volume explores how people have made sense of the past by examining objects, images, and architectural and urban spaces, despite the limitations of available evidence. The text highlights the need for a personal paradigm to perceive the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for human survival and unity in a warring world. The book begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the rest of the volume, emphasizing the importance of understanding the evolution of technology and its impact on our perception of history. The authors argue that the study of historical material and visual cultures requires a critical approach to confront the formative presence of destruction, loss, obscurity, and existential uncertainty. They contend that the traditional methods of art historians may not be sufficient to address these challenges and propose a new framework for analyzing the past. Chapter one, "The Problem of Absence by Michele Bacci, examines the difficulties of studying works that cannot be sensually perceived. Bacci argues that the absence of objects can lead to a strain on historical methods and even past the breaking point.
