Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. 520 $a This book explores how terrorists have been portrayed in the Western media, and the wider ideological and social functins of those representations. Developing a theory of scapegoating related to narrative closure, as well as an integrated, genealogical method of intervisuality, the book proposes a new way of thinking about how political images achieve power and influence the public. By connecting modern portrayals of terrorists (post-9/11) with historical and fictional images of villains from Western cultural history, the book argues that the portrayal and punishment of terrorists in the Western media implicitly perpetuates neo-Orientalist attitudes. It also explains that by repeating these narrative patterns through a ritual of scapegoating, Western media coverage of terrorists partakes in a social process that uses punishment, dehumanization and colonialist ideas to purge the iconic 'villian', so as to build national unity and sustain hegemonic power following crisis--back cover. 650 0 $a Terrorism in mass media. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85134114 650 0 $a Terrorism and mass media $z Western countries. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Press coverage $z Western countries. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Political aspects $z Western countries. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Social aspects $z Western countries. 650 0 $a Villains in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85143359 650 0 $a Villains in mass media. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh87001588 650 0 $a Orientalism $z Western countries. 650 7 $a Mass media $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011278 650 7 $a Orientalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01048139 650 7 $a Terrorism and mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148149 650 7 $a Terrorism in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148152 650 7 $a Terrorism $x Press coverage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148120 650 7 $a Terrorism $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148143 650 7 $a Villains in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166998 650 7 $a Villains in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166999 651 7 $a Western countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01302083 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217015232.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FB1210180C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
