Absztrakt (kivonat)
‘Terrorism’ has been a major staple of news media for several decades and even more so since the 11th September, 2001 attacks on the United States. Research on the phenomenon has grown at an unprecedented rate in recent years. However, most social scientifi c approaches tend to regard ‘terrorism’ as having thing-like properties. In this paper I seek to show that ‘terrorism’ should be approached in a relational and processual way and be considered as part of ‘established-outsider’ relations. In order to do this, I examine how the concept aft er it was fi rst coined during the fi rst French Revolution was closely related to the concept of ‘civilisation’. Using the examples of Britain and France, I go on to argue that the concept of ‘terrorism’ developed in antithesis to the concept of ‘civilisation’ and was heavily infl uenced by intra- and inter-state processes between the two countries. Later, I explain how Britain’s relationship with Ireland was also central to the ‘sociogenesis’ of the concept of ‘terrorism’. I also show how the relationship between the concepts of ‘terrorism’ and ‘civilisation’ is perhaps one of the few regularities involving ‘terrorism’ since its b irth in the late eighteenth century and add that the fact that ‘terrorism’ is used as a label to delegitimise outsider groups by established groups forms part of the same ‘double-bind’ processes and relations in which those designated as ‘terrorists’ act according to those designations.
