内容説明
Discussing the mythography of terror, this volume aims to unveil the semantics of the culture of terror and thereby demystify and disenchant the obsession with terrorism and remove the taboos surrounding it. By examining the complicity of governments, media representation, the arts, academia and violent activists the authors illustrate how terrorism is often constituted as a substitute for genuine political debate. The work draws upon the lessons and perspectives afforded by terrorism literature, social anthropology and their own fieldwork with Basque violence.

内容説明
Terror and Taboo is about the mythology of terrorism; it is an exploration of the ways we talk about terrorism. It offers incontestable evidence to support the idea that we give power to terrorism by the way we write and talk about it. According to Zulaika and Douglass, we make terrorism worse by the way we represent it in the media and in everyday conversation. Through their examination of terrorism, they propose to remove the taboos surrounding terrorism. Terror and Taboo is full of examples to ground the authors premise, ranging from specific examples, such as tendency to talk more about where Timothy McVeigh shopped for weapons than about the international traffic in arms by legitimate nations, to more theoretical interpretations that will be familiar to readers of cultural studies books.
