This study examines the cultural production of terrorism by analyzing both terror and anti-terror campaigns. With the aid of information and communication technologies, terrorist groups are able to publicize their own messages, resulting in the globalization of their ideologies and an increase in the quantity and quality of their cultural production. In a perverse reversal, corporate news networks, in their constant search for content, publicize terrorist activities and sensationalize these stories as part of their profit-maximizing operations. The symbiotic relationship between seemingly disparate actors, including corporate news networks, terrorist networks, and the counter-terrorism security apparatus, means that the spectacle of terrorism is being created by both terror and anti-terror campaigns. |
