Abstract

Terrorism is often held to be "violence as communication". However, terrorism studies has had very little to say about how violence as such is specifically represented by insurgent "extremist" or transgressive political actors. Informed by social movement theories of framing and the literature on virtualization, this paper sets out to offer a preliminary typology of representations of violence by such groups, and the ways in which subcultural engagement with mediated representations of violence may represent a missing dimension in our understanding of "violent extremism" or "violent radicalization".
