The Political Aesthetics of ISIS and Italian Futurism

Más información sobre el libro

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.
