Focusing on the intersection of performance and conflict, this book explores how acts of performance have influenced the narrative and experience of wars on terror. It examines performance as a dual force—both a means of violence and a method of resistance—highlighting its role in shaping societal responses and perceptions during times of crisis. Through this lens, the work provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding performance in the context of contemporary and historical terrorism.
