Moving beyond perpetrator-centred questions, this open access book explores how everyday objects such as kitchen knives and vans become lethal weapons, and how a new materialist approach can further our understanding of terror events and could be used to prevent future violence. Despite varied restrictions, explosives, guns, knives, and vehicles are readily available and kill thousands of people every year, yet thus far have played a marginal role in publications in security and terrorism studies. Katharina Karcher approaches terrorism as a 'material-discursive' phenomenon that comes into being through repeated boundary-drawing practices involving both human and non-human agencies. Case studies from across Europe, the US and the Middle East offer critical insights into the material and cultural evolution of the objects involved in mass shootings, suicide bombings, stabbings, and vehicle rammings. Drawing on data from court files, press coverage and interviews, this study offers the first in depth analysis of the material and discursive practices that create terrorist weapons, and that exclude other objects from this category. Karcher also shows how educational campaigns and policy measures that consider the agency of objects and promote a more-than-human ethic of care can be used to save lives beyond the contentious area of counter-terrorism.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

A decade on from the Arab uprisings, debates continue to reiterate exceptionalist discourses about the region and its peoples which tend to deny individual agency. They also neglect long collective histories of mediated political cultures that have emerged within colonial and post-colonial structures and outside peripheries of formal power and politics. This book problematizes the relationship between politics and communication in the Middle East and North Africa region, paying attention to the diversity of communicative forms and political practices outside formal institutions and structures while remaining conscious of the power dynamics within institutional practices. Examining political communication in Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Iraq, Syria, Turkey,Tunisa and Iran, the book's chapters challenge Western-centric theories and methodologies that dominate the broad field of political communication by reframing the discussions to include the politics of the marginal or the peripheral, the informal, and the grassroots.
