Description

Explore the complex connection between language and global security in Rhetoric, Fantasy, and the War on Terror. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in Media, Communication, and Politics series, this academic work uses psychoanalytic and semiotic perspectives to analyze how the War on Terror is communicated to the public. The text examines a wide range of sources, including governmental speeches, legal documents, print and broadcast journalism, and military memoirs. It investigates how specific discourses create a myth of imminent harm, which serves to justify preemptive actions like war, torture, and targeted killing. Additionally, the book looks at how these narratives support domestic security measures, including mass surveillance and profiling. This book provides a deep look into the themes of selective compassion and the media's role in shaping political reality. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in how communication shapes policy and public perception during times of conflict.
