| Abstract |
The range of the aesthetic has expanded to cover not only a
wider range of objects and situations of daily life but also to
encompass the negative. This includes terrorism, whose
aesthetic impact is central to its use as a political tactic. The
complex of positive and negative aesthetic values in terrorism
are explored, introducing the concept of the sublime as a
negative category to illuminate the analysis and the distinctive
aesthetic of terrorism.
