Time and time again, writers and filmmakers including William Shakespeare, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, Gillo Pontecorvo, Don DeLillo, John Updike, and Steven Spielberg refer to terrorist acts as beyond comprehension, "a deed without a name," but they do not stop there. Instead of creating works that respond to terrorism by providing comforting narratives reassuring audiences and readers of their moral superiority and the perfidy of the terrorists, these writers and filmmakers confront the unspeakable by attempting to see the world from the terrorist's perspective and examining the roots of terrorist violence." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Terrorism in literature. 650 0 $a Political violence in literature. 650 0 $a Terrorism in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Political violence in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x History. 650 0 $a Political violence $x History. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Political violence $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Political violence $x Psychological aspects. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Herman, Peter C., 1958- author. $t Unspeakable $d New York : Routledge, 2019 $z 9780429285004 $w (DLC) 2019015434 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200103021701.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D359775A166311EA9B100A4E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
