Discussing the mythography of terror, this volume aims to unveil the semantics of the culture of terror and thereby demystify and disenchant the obsession with terrorism and remove the taboos surrounding it. By examining the complicity of governments, media representation, the arts, academia and violent activists the authors illustrate how terrorism is often constituted as a substitute for genuine political debate. The work draws upon the lessons and perspectives afforded by terrorism literature, social anthropology and their own fieldwork with Basque violence.
