Globalizing Collateral Language
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
To interrogate this wartime lexicon of ""collateral language,"" editors John Collins and Somdeep Sen have assembled a volume of critical essays that explores the long shadow of America's ""War on Terror"" discourse. They illuminate how this language has now found resonance across the globe and in political projects that have little to do with the ""War on Terror."" Two decades after the attacks of September 11, 2001, this book calls on us to resist the tyranny of collateral language at a time when the need for such interventions in the public sphere is more urgent than ever.
