This book investigates the reportage of the 2004 Beslan
hostage-taking published by three very different Russian-language
websites: RIA-Novosti, Kavkazcenter, and Caucasian Knot, tracking
the ways in which these three sites constructed six different
reports in response to what happened at Beslan, even as events were
still taking place. By covering both Russian and English reports,
the book also considers ways in which translation impacts on the
reconstruction of these narratives. Working from the premises that
narratives constitute reality and are fundamental to human agency,
the book investigates material never before subjected to scholarly
analysis in this depth, contributing to an understanding of Beslan
in terms of its significance for Russia's nation building, civil
society and responses to terrorism. The book also reflects on the
role of narratives in perpetuating or dissolving violent political
conflict, a discussion relevant not just for Russia, but for other,
seemingly intractable, conflicts across the world. -- .
