Summary
A comparative analysis of discursive fields surrounding terrorism reveals how power and knowledge intersect to shape societal perceptions, particularly through the lens of Michel Foucault's archeology and genealogy. The study identifies four dominant historical trajectories of terrorist discourse—anarchist (1880–1920), anticolonialist (1920–1960), new left (1960–1990), and religious (post-1979)—highlighting their evolution and persistence in specific contexts. Using Foucault's framework, the research demonstrates that discourses of terrorism are not neutral but are embedded in power structures, influencing what is deemed 'true' or 'acceptable.' The 2008 Mumbai attacks, including a coordinated assault on Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus), serve as a case study to illustrate the practical implications of these discursive dynamics. The analysis underscores the need for meticulous, erudi-tion-driven approaches to understand terrorism's complex interplay with power and knowledge.
