Concept Checker: the case of "terrorism" Francois Rolland
-
- Culture et société
A philosophical advendure into the concept of "terrorism"! Yes, there is such a thing as going on philosophical adventures and I would like to take you on one of them.
In this podcast, I will guide you through an original research paper of mine (Agoraclasm: rethinking terrorism) in which I analyzed the concept of "terrorism" and found myself forced to invent new concepts to replace that notion.
Lace your hiking boots and put on the rucksack, hit play and follow me!

Ep 2: Existing standard definitions of Terrorism and a look at its' History
Existing definitions of terrorism are not unanimously identical, as we shall see here comparing a Webster from 1948, 1981 and 1997. The way in which the EU and the FBI define "terrorism" are also strikingly different. I discuss the difference in the approach to the concept. Finally, I give a overview of the history of the term and of the phenomenon it is supposed to describe.
EU Law:
EUR-Lex - 32002F0475 - EN - EUR-Lex (europa.eu)
US Definition of Terrorism:
U.S.C. Title 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE (govinfo.gov)
