I thought about Virillo, but was really looking for something which 
addressed the terrorist rather than the media-representation of the 
terroist/events... The brief research on the mediation of the 9/11 event 
suggests that the endless repetition of the event may have enhanced the 
relationship to the real...

Hence the thought that Arendt's work on Eichman might be relevant...

Hugh and All

What is becoming increasingly interesting is the lack of serious philosophical writing on terroism. I've spent the past few days searching for interesting writing on terror and terroism and actually there is remarkably little.

That is not to say there is nothing on state terrorism and the terror related to the state and power. Just very little that i've identifed that directly addresses those hopeless acts of terror inflicted on a human population, such as the 911 event.

Thoughts and suggestions anyone?
