Jihadism: Online Discourses and Representations

Edited by Rüdiger Lohlker.

Jihadi online media try to mobilize, recruit, and disseminate the messages of jihadi subcultures. Understanding the mechanisms and structures of the products of these online media is essential for understanding jihadism in general. Original research into visual representations of jihadi media outlets, the subtleties of jihadi videos, the specific ways jihadis use Islamic religious language, into jihadi poetry, and the ways jihadis stage their concepts in videos of kangaroo trials is presented in this volume. With contributions by Philipp Holtmann, Orhan Elmaz, Bouchra Oualla et al. 255 Seiten mit zahlreichen Abb., broschiert (Studying Jihadism; Vol. 2/Vienna University Press/V&R unipress 2013) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
