Tabloid Terror is expressly concerned with the cultural/political, as marking especially the tabloid culture's re-articulation of some foundational triumphalist beliefs about the idea of America. While it offers a tour de horizon of the agonal cultural politics within the United States, it does touch upon the epistemological questions raised by 'the primary or foundational beliefs in America's 'civilizing mission,' and its accompanying 'sense of moral conservatism and national exceptionalism' (65).

Tabloid Terror: War, Cult. has been added to your Cart. In this compelling volume Francois Debrix investigates at length the discourses now used by journalists, think tank intellectuals, foreign policy writers, and talk show hosts to represent the world as a threatening place 'in need' of American military violence. This volume is both a valuable contribution to contemporary thinking about media and war, and simultaneously a powerful critique of the practices that legitimize geopolitical violence.

Tabloid Terror: War, Culture and Geopolitics.

This bookanalyzes the methods, effects, and mechanisms by which international relations reach the US citizen. Deftly dissecting the interrelationships of national identity formation, corporate ‘news and opinion’ dissemination, and the quasi-academic apparatus of war justification - focusing on the Bush administration's exploitation of the fear and insecurity caused by 9/11 and how this has manifested itself in the US media (especially the tabloid populist media). Debrix explains how all serve to defend and produce state power and develops a model of tabloidized international relations, where responses are both organized by, and supportive of, a strong centralized US government. The field of International Relations sorely needs such analytics, in so far as it explains how people in their everyday lives relate to transnational issues.

Tabloid Terror critically covers a wide variety of US popular culture from the Internet to Fox News; analyzes diverse authors as Julia Kristeva, J.G. Ballard and Robert Kaplan and takes into account renowned international relations interlocutors as Don Imus, Bill O’Reilly, and Tommy Franks.
