Disentangling Jihad, political violence and media
xxvi, 420 pages : color illustrations ; 24 cm.
The entanglement of Jihad, Political Violence, and Media has determined the lives of Muslims in Europe and the United States over the past twenty years. This book unravels the nexus of these elements, to critically examine how their conjunction is perpetuated, reproduced, or disputed. In sixteen case studies, the contributors critically reflect on the identification of jihad with political violence, address the academic, legal, political and broader public production of knowledge on this topic, examine the aesthetic formations involved in the mediation and reaffirmation of this narrow understanding, explore the experiential worlds of people whose ideas and actions are labelled as and affected by notions of violent jihad, and illuminate the institutional and media contexts (e.g. of archives) in which an entanglement of jihad and political violence takes effect, with profound consequences. This volume decenters dominant discourses on so-called jihadist actors and deradicalization contexts to offer more nuanced understandings of the political and sociocultural contexts.
