Global Battlefield and the Voices from the Desert

Sead Alić ; Petrovogorska 16a, HR–10000 Zagreb

Sažetak

The concept of authoritarianism is used in the text as a way to shed light on the authoritarian political and military activities of those countries that ignore the modern civilisation’s legal and moral achievements in an attempt to “envelop time” in concepts such as propaganda, war and terrorism. Reflections on war include theses by Sigmund Freud, Erich Fromm, Claude LéviStrauss, Friedrich Nietzsche, Noam Chomsky, and other authors who “expand the framework” of war. This broadened context is then used in order to observe the phenomena of “global war” and “media war”, and the terrorist attack in Paris. The goal is to highlight the new/old role of the mass media’s “manufacturing consent”, and to clarify the role and power of media in the current rise of terrorism in the world.
