Abu Ghraib und die Folgen

Abu Ghraib und die Folgen
Ein Skandal als ikonische Wende im Krieg gegen den Terror
The cases of abuse in the Iraqi prison at Abu-Ghraib made for worldwide outrage in
May 2004. This study investigates the American discourse on Abu Ghraib. It offers an
interpretation of the controversial photographs and an extensive analysis of press
articles and television transcripts (2004-2009) for politics, law, art, popular culture, and
the discourse on torture. With this, Werner Binder not only fills in a gap in our
understanding of Abu Ghraib, but at the same time delivers an independent contribution
to cultural and sociological theorizing.
