Abstract
The paper offers a comparative analysis of Franco Berardi Bifo’s treatise on modern
terrorism (Heroes: Mass Murder and Suicide, 2015) and its (semio)capitalist background
on one side and Montažstroj’s theatrical performance, inspired by a half-documentary
fiction novel Jugend Ohne Gott (1937) by Ödön von Horváth, on the other. Employing some
of the contemporary theoretical insights on violence and terror in modern society,
Montažstroj’s performance is thus interpreted in the context of recent theories of globalization
– and its prevalent communication and circulation of capital paradigms – as
well as in the light of Breivik’s Darwinist and anti-Marxist manifesto.
Keywords
