The book examines the portrayal of terrorists in Western media, focusing on the ideological and social implications of these representations. It introduces a theory of scapegoating related to narrative closure and employs a genealogical method of intervisuality. By linking contemporary depictions of terrorists to historical and fictional villains, it argues that these portrayals reinforce neo-Orientalist attitudes. The author contends that media narratives of punishment and dehumanization serve to unify nations and uphold hegemonic power in times of crisis.
