• 摘要註: "Image Warfare in the War on Terror" provides an innovative re-examination of the war on terror, arguing that since September 11th 2001, image warfare has replaced techno-war as the dominant warfighting model. Roger suggests that image warfare is a form of warfare in which Al Qaeda currently dominates while the West is still playing catch-up. By dealing with the deployment of disturbing images generated by the 9/11 attacks from bin Laden videos, suicide terrorism and hostage executions to prisoner abuses, Roger provides us with a new vocabulary through which these acts can be discussed and understood. Offering the first comprehensive assessment of image warfare from an International Relations perspective, this study also engages with media studies and visual cultures to reveal an intriguing new line of political communications explained through Roger's conceptual terms 'image munitions', 'counter-image munitions' and 'remediation battles'.
