How is hostage space constructed? In this age-long procedure found
in conflicts around the world, strange forms of terror and intimacy
arise, particularly in the contemporary Islamic cultures of
Chechnya, Albania, and Bosnia. This book investigates the modes of
desire and politics found in kidnapping, in order to reveal the
voices of victims and kidnappers that often remain closed up. Dejan
Lukic explores the spaces where hostages and hostage takers come
into contact - spaces of accident, sacrifice, hope, and catastrophe
- or, in other words, the spaces that announce utopias bound to
fail. In this book, the figures of the victim, the terrorist, the
sovereign, the resistance fighter and the witness - among others -
emerge with a new face; one that will contribute to our
understandings of what it means to act politically and ethically
today.
