The counterterrorism policies following September 11, 2001, brought
the definition and legitimacy of torture to the forefront of
political, military, and public debates. This timely volume
explores the question of torture through multiple lenses by
situating it within systems of belief, social networks of power,
and ideological worldviews. Individual essays examine the
boundaries of what is deemed legitimate political violence for the
sake of state security, the immediate and long-term effects of
torture on human and social bodies, the visual and artistic
representations of torture, how certain people are dehumanized to
make it acceptable to torture them, and how we understand
complicity in and the ethical boundaries of torture.
