Summary:

This book examines the manifestations of terror in the arts. From classical tragedy to post-9/II responses, terror - as an emotion, violent act, and state of the world - has been a preoccupation of artists in all genres. Using philosophy, art history, film studies, interdisciplinary arts, theatre studies, and musicology, the authors included here delve into this perennially contemporary theme to produce insights articulated in a variety of idioms: from traditional philosophical humanism to phenomenology to feminism. Their approaches may vary, but together they reinforce the nation that terror is a thread in the fabric of artistic expression as much as it has always been and, alas, remains a thread in the fabric of life.
