Resumen de The archetype of terrorism: how 11/9 changed the world?
Although a wide range of scholars and studies emphasized on the idea that terrorism is an act of violence, it is noteworthy such violence does not seek to eradicate its victims, nor is it necessary based on an extreme hate. The nature of terrorism is insufflating terror in the core of society. What is important to remind seems to be that terrorists are dependants on the action of mass media. Terrorists need a lot of people watching, not people dead. From this perspective, the present essay explores not only the roots of terrorism and religious fanaticism but also re-consider some of the existent points respecting to Muslim World. Basically, the debate rests on three main assumptions. The kknowledge about terrorism and studies are conducted outside the hot-spot where terrorism marked common-place. Secondly, this orthodox literature not only trivializes the role of the media but also do not contribute too much to the debate. Terrorism has been pushed to be a theme of discussion in academic fields, or universities. While scholars and pseudo-specialists see in terrorism a monster to defeat whose attacks should be forecasted and mitigated, our thesis aims to the fact that techno-meritocracy, capitalism and modern terrorism are inextricably intertwined. Terrorist cells not only take advantages of our means of transport, but also recur to our manual of management and business to plan their acts. Last but not least, terrorism acquires a semiotic nature based on a wider process of communication. The existent dependency of western consumers respecting to tragedy and disasters make for the visual machine a fertile sources to the production of risks. This ongoing production of fear and vulnerability determines the age of terrorism. This means the operation fear for question of legitimacy and bio-political status.
