Et si nous nous trompions ? Et si les attentats-suicides n’avaient rien à voir avec la guerre ? Et s’ils n’avaient rien à voir avec la religion ? Et si, même, ils n’avaient rien à voir avec quelqu’idéologie que ce fût ? Que se passerait-il si, en réalité, ce dont les kamikazes se voulaient les terrifiants acteurs était une simple surenchère appartenant au domaine des images ? En posant cette question, retraçant l’arc courant des premières explosions-suicides à la fin du XIXe siècle, jusqu’aux attentats meurtriers de Paris, en passant par les kamikazes japonais ou les auteurs de la destruction du World Trade Center, à New York, le 11 septembre 2001, c’est toute une histoire du flash visuel provoqué par la détonation des bombes portées, ou conduites, par les terroristes de l’absolu qui se trouve rejouée avec brio par Laurent de Sutter. Une histoire qui rejoindrait celle des spectateurs des médias de la postmodernité, ne quittant leur apathie organisée qu’au moment où un show plus violent que les autres finit par leur rappeler que, quelque part, le réel les attend

Ker offers the first comprehensive cultural history of Seneca's death scene, situating it in the Roman imagination and tracing its many subsequent interpretations. Dozens of interpreters, engaging with prior versions and with Seneca's writings, forged new and sometimes controversial views on Seneca's legacy and, more broadly, on mortality and suicide. "The deaths of Seneca" presents a new, historically inclusive, approach to reading this major Roman author.

Suicide terrorism in its modern form appeared in the 1980s. The first organization to use this strategy was the Shi'ite Hizbollah in Lebanon. Later, it was adopted by many terrorist organizations in the Middle East and Asia. This new study shows how there are at least two reasons to question the central role that is assigned to religion and more specifically Islam when explaining suicide terrorism. First, suicide terrorism is a modern phenomenon, yet Islam is a very old religion. Except for two periods in the 12th and 18th centuries, suicide was never part of Islamist beliefs and behaviors. Actually, Islam clearly forbids suicide. Hence, the argument that Islamic religious beliefs are the main cause of suicide terrorism is inherently dubious. Second, many suicide attacks have been carried out by secular organizations with little connection to fundamentalist Islam: Palestinian Fatah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Kurdish Workers Party. Moreover, one of the organizations that has employed this strategy devastatingly and regularly is the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam). Not only are members of this organization not Muslim, most of them are not religious at all. This superb book contains essays by some of the world's leading scholars of terrorism and political violence. It is essential reading for students of terrorism, political science and Middle Eastern politics, and useful to students of social psychology, theology and history.
