description

The terrorist group Daesh has broadcast worldwide shocking videos of heritage destruction and human beheadings. This paper analyses both practices as iconoclastic gestures within the context of the so-called “war of images” that defines our present days. The paper focuses on iconoclastic theories, the use of social media by terrorists and the role of images in the virtual war waged by Daesh.
