The Political Aesthetics of ISIS and Italian Futurism

Viac o knihe

The book explores the aesthetics and politics of the Islamic State, arguing that its approach is "futurist." It contrasts ISIS's embrace of a modern, techno-oriented optimism with postmodern pessimism, drawing parallels to the early twentieth-century Italian Futurism movement. Through empirical analysis and theoretical reflection, the author examines how ISIS's ideology reflects a forward-looking vision, challenging conventional perceptions of its motivations and cultural expressions.
