- Book Synopsis
- Re-Defining Terrorism examines the emergence of the counter-radicalisation agenda in the UK and internationally. Offering original insights into counter-radicalisation's extensive effects, Itoiz Rodrigo Jusué offers a complete and innovative examination of the development of counter-radicalisation discourses and policies. Outlining (counter)radicalisation as a new technology of governance embedded in the production and promotion of particular mentalities, conducts, identities, and subjectivities, the chapters investigate the transformations that the figure of the terrorist has gone through since the early 2000s and stresses the role of the media in the (re)production of new imaginaries of terror. Based on a large amount of rich qualitative data, the author shows how vocabularies and narratives of (counter)radicalisation are disseminated in popular culture establishing new lens through which terrorism and political violence are comprehended and acted upon in the UK and beyond. Breaking fresh ground where the counter-radicalisation (and counter-extremism) agenda is still a relatively new and developing phenomenon in the UK and globally, this is compelling reading for policymakers, practitioners, undergraduate and post-graduate students and scholars across disciplines including critical studies on terrorism; criminology; media and communication studies; cultural studies; gender studies; social policy; and peace and conflict studies.
