Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Making Time, Shaping Time Writing Radical Discontinuity Writing Linear Times Writing Timelessness Time, Violence, Identity, Politics Bibiography List of Sources IndexReviews'Drawing on a wealth of primary research material and developing a sophisticated theoretical account of the relationship between security, identity, temporality and the political, Jarvis makes a convincing case for the central role of representations of time in the US Government's 'war on terror' discourse.' - Matt McDonald, University of Warwick, UK 'In a theoretically sophisticated, richly textured and incisive analysis, Times of Terror eloquently deconstructs the origins, dynamics and consequences of the current politics of terror. In a masterful critical discourse analysis, Lee Jarvis excavates the relationships between temporality, violence, identity, and the political in the language of political leaders, forcing us to rethink our understanding of the practices through which these values are enacted and performed in contemporary political life. This is a superb example of the new critical terrorism studies approach to the study of terrorism and counter-terrorism. It deserves the widest possible audience.' - Dr Richard Jackson, Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University, UK Author InformationLee Jarvis is a Senior Lecturer in International Security at the University of East Anglia, UK.
