Language, Knowledge, and Power In the Name of the State: Reading In The Name of The Father and The Devil's Own as National Security Discourse's Appropriation of Terrorism.

Abstract:

This paper will explore and interrogate how terrorism is consistently brought into the political and controlled by the power structure, specifically the ways in which language is used to create a specific knowledge structure and the ways in which discursive practices represent the mobilization of power. Language, knowledge, and power are employed within a highly contextualized national security discourse – a discourse that creates notions of terrorism. A reading of In the Name of the Father and The Devil's Own, coupled with a review of U.S. foreign policy over the past 30 years, will allow the exploration of how terrorism has been constructed within a context of national security. Based on this perception, I have formulated a notion of how national security discourse is a site of practice for the State as it interprets, manipulates, and controls terrorism through discourse’s constituting and appropriating functions.
