Blending concepts from 'dramatism' such as 'victimage ritual' with
Foucault's approach to modern power and knowledge regimes, this
book presents a novel and illuminating perspective on political
power and domination resulting from the global war on terrorism.
With attention to media sources and political discourse within the
context of the global war on terror, the author draws attention to
the manner in which power elites construct scapegoats by way of a
victimage ritual, thus providing themselves with a political
pretext for extending their power and authority over new
territories and populations, as well as legitimating an
intensification of domestic surveillance and social control. A
compelling analysis of ritual rhetoric and political violence,
Power, Discourse and Victimage Ritual in the War on Terror will be
of interest to sociologists, political theorists and scholars of
media and communication concerned with questions of surveillance
and social control, political communication, hegemony, foreign
policy and the war on terror.
