The symposium 'Sleepers, Moles, and Martyrs: Secret
Identifications, Societal Integration, and the Differing Meanings
of Freedom' held in Reinhausen, 2002, formed the basis of this
issue of Ethnologia Europaea. Occasioned by the social, political
and mass media discourses after the bombings of New York's World
Trade Center on September 11, 2001, an interdisciplinary group of
scholars came together to explore the connotations and implications
of the term 'sleeper'. The biographies of terrorist perpetrators
are but one of many permutations of sleeper-like phenomena in late
modern polities. Clandestine operatives of the state are sleepers,
and both willing and unwilling victims of terrorism are
discursively transformed from sleepers into martyrs. Starting with
analyses of the discourses about sleepers in Part I-their
historical antecedents, narrative emplotment, and semantic
differentiation-Part II turns to the hidden or unspoken of aspects
of the state, the challenge of fundamentalist terrorism to the
modern political project and the tensions between neighbourly
discourse, public display and the state. Part III juxtaposes
changing depictions of Shiite martyrdom with the violence done to
the term 'martyr' within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In Part
IV, cultural secrets encoded in memorials and public silences in
academic discourse are addressed. The different cases assembled
offer comparative materials and perspectives from the USA, France,
the Netherlands, Pakistan, Spain, Iran, Israel, Istria and Sweden.
