Language Wars: The Role of Media and Culture in Global Terror [http:// 
democracyandjustice.org/content/view/68/52/]

Assoc Prof Jeff Lewis discusses his new book ‘Language Wars’ in  
which he deals with the relationship between the media, culture and  
new forms of global, political violence. Assoc Prof Peter Horsfield  
will respond and discuss the relationship of media and religion.

‘the language used to report incidents of violence has changed, not  
just in official channels but in wider cultural contexts, and shows  
the impact this has on social perceptions … language and the media  
are implicated in global terrorism and the US-led reprisals in the  
war on terror …’ - Jeff Lewis
