Abstract

Qu'est-ce que le terrorisme ? Cette lancinante question préoccupe aussi bien l'homme de la rue que les chercheurs spécialisés dans l'étude de la violence politique. Que ces derniers ne soient pas parvenus, après des décennies d'efforts, à formuler une définition consensuelle du phénomène ne manque pas d'étonner. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition d'expliquer cet échec en déplaçant le questionnement de la notion de terrorisme à celle de terreur. L'histoire des deux concepts et de leur inextricable imbrication éclaire l'équivoque du discours contemporain sur le terrorisme et contient la solution au problème de la définition du phénomène. Elucider le problème, c'est également se donner les moyens de concevoir un cadre conceptuel alternatif qui conserve la masse des connaissances acquises, tout en faisant sauter l'obstacle terminologique sur lequel butte l'analyse des violences armées clandestines.

Abstract

This book offers a multifaceted, analytical account of counterterrorism argumentative speech. Traditionally, existing scholarship in this field of research has taken a selective focus on issues and actors, concentrating mainly on US state discourse after 9/11. However, this approach ignores the fact that there was counterterrorism speech before 9/11, and that there are other countries and other actors who also actively engage in the counterterrorism discursive field, both within and outside of the Western world. Addressing several thematic, chronological and methodological gaps in the current literature, this book offers a dynamic perspective on counterterrorism argumentative speech. Over the course of the volume, the authors tackle the following key issues : first, historical and cultural continuity and change. Second, the phenomenology of counterterrorism speech : its nature, instrumentalisation, implications and interactions between the various actors involved. The third theme is the anatomy of counterterrorism speech; namely its political, cultural and linguistic constitutive elements. Employing a multi-disciplinary framework, the authors explore these issues through a geographically and historically diverse range of case studies, resulting in a book that broadens the perspective of counterterrorism argumentation analysis.
