\u300aAbstract\u300b
\nMillions of images circulate each day in the global mediaspace that connects social media to more traditional outlets like television and the press.
\nOccasionally some acquire iconic status linking the local event to higher moral, perhaps universal sensitivities. Particular images have come to represent the way terror events are understood in the popular imagination. But are they not misleading? Do other, less performative images not point to a more subtle subversion? These reach into the very heart of geopolitics and threaten the liberal conscience.
