> Organised around the themes of seeing, waiting and travelling, this 
> book presents an innovative reassessment of the War on Terror. 
> Opening with the September 11 attacks and moving forward in time, 
> each chapter focuses upon a different feature of this conflict, 
> including: Bin Laden's video appearances, Afghanistan, the Iraq War, 
> hostage videos, the awaiting of forthcoming attacks, the imagining 
> of distant places, extraordinary rendition, the unseen and processes 
> of commemoration. Ranging across disciplinary concerns, and taking 
> Lacan's work as its principal theoretical point of reference, 
> Re-Imagining the War on Terror draws upon a diversity of material 
> (from media coverage, to cinema, photography and contemporary art), 
> to uncover aspects of the War on Terror often ignored in assessments 
> of the conflict. In so doing Re-Imagining the War on Terror offers a 
> distinctive re-imagining of a conflict that has defined the opening 
> of the 21st Century.
