Résumé : | Campos (U. of Hawaii at Manoa) takes a new look at how the US government appropriates terrorism and manages it within national security discourse. He examining the five components of terrorism (the act, the actor, variations in definition, applications and meaning and use of moral authority). Campos analyzes 30 years of presidential rhetoric on terrorism, from the Cold War to the present, and uses critical theory to locate the dyad of government and terrorism within all the language, knowledge, and control of power in the name of the state. He places actions and perceptions in long-term contexts, making America's current responses to terrorism, including the abridgment of certain rights, easier to understand. |
