“Who’s Afraid of ISIS?”: Towards a Doxology of War

“Who’s Afraid of ISIS?”: Towards a Doxology of War

by Daniel Bertrand Monk (Editor), Daniel Bertrand Monk (Editor)

Synopsis

Who's Afraid of ISIS? eschews familiar debates about the status of ISIS as an existential threat to the West, with the aim of submitting those types of arguments to a reasoned examination of the political place of anxiety itself. This collection concerns itself with the doxologies that attend such arguments, or with that which, as Bourdieu wrote, goes without saying becomes it comes without saying and so become the unexamined points of departure for contentions about ISIS that may, for that very reason, hold entire life worlds together. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Studies on Security.
