By integrating dramatism's 'victimage ritual' with Foucault's theories on power and knowledge, this book offers a fresh perspective on political power stemming from the global war on terrorism. It provides a thorough examination of ritual rhetoric and political violence, making it a valuable resource for sociologists, political theorists, and media scholars. Key themes include surveillance, social control, political communication, hegemony, and foreign policy, all crucial to understanding contemporary issues surrounding the war on terror.
