Contains thirteen original essays and an expansive introduction, including contributions by some of the foremost scholars in the field

Goes beyond the US-centrism of post-9/11 discourse and covers a broad geographical scope, including India, Sri Lanka, Burma, the UK, France, and Germany
Offers up-to-date discussions of key films and texts, as well as pioneering analyses of works that have been largely overlooked in scholarship
Brings together research from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including literary criticism, film and television studies, cultural anthropology, critical terrorism studies, postcolonial studies, and gender studies

The contemporary preoccupation with terrorism is marked by a curious paradox: whereas the topic has been ubiquitous in public discourse since the late twentieth century, the voices of terrorists themselves are usually silenced. Is the terrorist the quintessential proscribed or tabooed figure of our times, as cultural anthropologists Joseba Zulaika and William A. Douglass have suggested? The present volume is the first to approach the tabooing of terrorists from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective.

Covering a broad geographical scope, it explores how different media forms (such as novels, fiction and non-fiction films, or comic books) frame and make sense of the figure of the terrorist: do they reinforce the terrorism taboo, or do they find ways of circumventing it? Each contribution asks how factors such as ideological agenda, religious identity, ethnicity, and gender impact the way the perpetrators of political violence are conceived in different historical moments and cultural contexts.
