What is terror? What are its roots and its results -- and what part
does it play in human experience and history? This volume offers a
number of timely and original anthropological insights into the
ways in which acts of terror -- and reactions to those acts --
impact on the lives of virtually everyone in the world today, as
perpetrators, victims or witnesses. As the contributors to this
volume demonstrate, what we have come to regard as acts of terror
-- whether politically motivated, or state-sanctioned -- have
assumed many different forms and provoked widely differing
responses throughout the world. At a deeper level, the contributors
explore the work of the imagination in extreme contexts of danger,
such as those of terror and terrorism. By stressing the role of the
imagination, and its role in amplifying the effects of experience,
this collection brings together a coherent set of analyses that
offer innovative and unexpected ways of understanding a major
global problem of contemporary life.
