Towards a rhetorical understanding of modern terrorism

This project is an inquiry into the rhetorical nature and dimension of warfare in the twenty-first century. It is my contention that U.S. public policy responses to terrorism that have emerged since September 11th have fundamentally misapprehended the rhetorical nature and function of the terrorist threat. In particular, the assumption that terrorism is exclusively strategic has excluded considerations of the ways in which it functions epideictically.
