In the era of war on terror, the term terror has tended to be
applied to its sudden eruptions in the metropolises of the global
north. This volume directs its attention to terror's manifestations
in other locations and lives. The title Living Through Terror
refers both to the pervasiveness of terror in societies where
extreme violence and war constitute the everyday processes of life
as well as to the experience of surviving terror and living into
the future. The contributions consider terror's effects in those
ignored and silenced locations where terror is either naturalised
(the Philippines, South Africa, Timor Leste, Sri Lanka) or made
invisible (the neo-liberal democracies of Australia and Italy). The
stories of ruined places, displaced bodies and identities shattered
and remade that emerge from these pages bring into view the
socio-political systems, cultural geographies and regimes of
territoriality through which terror is engendered and naturalised,
and the institutions and imaginaries that continue to underpin
them. The essays, literary writings and images collected here
attend, in their different ways, to subjects living in and with
terror as an element incorporated in their everyday, and to the
processes by which terror exercises itself in their lives, whether
it is perpetrated by state or non-state actors. Simultaneously, the
contributions attest to the tactics subjects deploy to confront and
negotiate conditions of terror, their attempts to live with and
through terror and, ultimately, their strategies to recover through
the everyday and the ordinary the seeds of life and hope.
