  abstract: This work helps the reader understand what lies behind the use of monster images in relation to terrorism, exploring why media government officials present or frame terrorists as monsters, but also why terrorists themselves sometimes try to act as such. Marco Pinfari argues that portraying terrorists as unmanageable monsters typically serves specific political agendas that, in turn, are designed to legitimize specific counter-terrorist policies.
