The symposium explores how different notions of jihad and political 
violence have entered and been shaped by discursive formations in 
academia, media, and the arts. It takes the aesthetic dimensions of 
images and sounds that have emerged over the last 20 years in the 
engagement with 9/11 and its aftermath as a starting point to rethink 
the various notions of jihad and its relation to political violence. 
Bringing together international scholars, artists, and curators, the 
symposium critically examines the ways in which the concept of jihad has 
been studied, covered, and resisted by different actors. It discusses 
how notions of jihad are conditioned by and manifest in practices of 
knowledge production by a wide range of social actors around the world.
