Industry Reviews
This is a thought-provoking collection that requires the reader to engage with representations and form as critical sites of historical understanding. -- Modern Language Review Modern Language Review For many, the murder of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978 by the BR and the various neofascist bombings have become myths or legendary occurrences ones fraught with profound meaning for the human condition. Even some of the former militants and terrorists - the perpetrators, in other words - have participated in these productions (Moro's killers, for example). In fact, one cannot help be left with the impression that the artists and the ex-militants are really talking to each other. -- Journal of Modern History Journal of Modern History This broad-ranging collection of fourteen essays is innovative in offering an extremely rich and multi-faceted portrait of this complex topic... makes a real contribution to show how terrorist brutality was expressed, encoded and schematized by the people involved in these dramatic events even before the violent actions became the object of rhetorical analysis. -- Forum for Modern Language Studies Forum for Modern Language Studies
