Homo islamicus : beyond 'good' and 'bad' -- The vanishing jihadist : bin Laden and the Arab revolutions -- Constructing the 'bad' Muslim : jihad, Orientalism and the militarization of Muslim lands -- Contextualizing 'bad' Muslims : jihad, globalization and anti-Orientalism -- Ree(a)l jihadists : the media-tion of intentions -- Recovering invisible traces : jihad and postcolonialism -- Humanism and Islam : jihad and postsecularism -- Conclusion. Universalization of universes of resistance.The jihad has been at the centre of the West's securitization discourse for more than a decade. Theorists frequently use the jihadist as a discursive tool to further their military and market agendas, helped by Muslim interlocutors, who all too often play the role of the 'good' Muslim explaining the motifs of the 'bad'. Representing Jihad skilfully critiques the debate around the jihadist, arguing that Muslim theory and fiction have been commodified to cater to the needs of Western ideology.JihadIslamWestern countriesPostcolonialismReligious aspectsJihad.IslamPostcolonialismReligious aspects.297.72O'Rourke Jacqueline1613582MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811229203321Representing jihad3942963UNINA
