Projeto

A figura do terrorista como representação problemática do mal supremo

 

Pesquisador

Pedro Malard Monteiro

Resumo
O presente projeto pretende focar na representação da figura do terrorista em quatro romances, The terrorist, de John Updike; Shalimar the clown, de Salman Rushdie; Saturday, de Ian McEwan, e Leviathan, de Paul Auster. Somente o último trata-se de uma representação de um terrorista feita antes de 2001. A intenção é tentar identificar traços comuns entre esses textos, avaliando-os em conjunto com discursos midiáticos e as declarações da Casa Branca, tentando mostrar como esses diferentes tipos de texto definem o terrorismo.
