[Linganth] Query from a student looking for resources on the way "terrorist" is used in everyday discourse

[Bonnie McElhinny]

I believe Chad was modest here!  Also, his book, co-edited with Adam Hodges:

Discourse, War and Terrorism.  John Benjamins, 2007.

Also, the  authors of the Standing Rock Syllabus have assembled some terrific documents that address the question of when indigenous water protectors/sovereignty activists are presented as terrorists, or in some other frames.  In addition to textual representations, the articles look at visual ones....

Subject: Query from a student looking for resources on the way "terrorist" is used in everyday discourse

Hi All,

I have an undergrad student taking my Language & Culture class, and she sent me the following query:

 "I am really interested in doing research on the ramifications of using the word terrorism and how different actors use that word to designate certain groups as terrorists. Let me know if there is anything more i could look into or if this not something linguistic anthropology would deal with."

I’ve pointed her to social media and the news, and will meet with her to discuss other options. But I was wondering if anyone here could recommend any materials that she could read on the topic.

Thanks!
Sonya
