ISIS is often described as a terrorist organisation that uses
social media to empower its supporters and reinforce its message.
Through 12 case studies, this book examines the different ways in
which Jihadi groups and their supporters use visualisation, sound
production and aesthetic means to articulate their cause in online
as well as offline contexts. Divided into four thematic sections,
the chapters probe Jihadi appropriation of traditional and popular
cultural expressions and show how, in turn, political activists
appropriate extremist media to oppose and resist the propaganda. By
conceptualising militant Islamist audiovisual productions as part
of global media aesthetics and practices, the authors shed light on
how religious actors, artists, civil society activists, global
youth, political forces, security agencies and researchers engage
with mediated manifestations of Jihadi ideology to deconstruct,
reinforce, defy or oppose the messages.
