abstract="Terrorism is often held to be &quot;violence as communication&quot;. However, terrorism studies has had very little to say about how violence as such is specifically represented by insurgent &quot;extremist&quot; 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 &quot;violent extremism&quot; or &quot;violent radicalization&quot;.<p />",
