Notast er við orðræðugreiningu í anda Michel Foucault. Með henni er reynt að svara þeim spurningum hvort pyntingar séu réttlættar sem tól í baráttunni gegn hryðjuverkum, hvort sú ímynd sé dregin upp af múslimum að þeir séu hryðjuverkamenn og hvort sértækar aðgerðir gegn múslimum í þágu öryggis séu lögmætar. Kenningagrunnur ritgerðarinnar byggir á kenningum sem varða poppmenningu og öryggismál. Mótunarhyggja, póststrúktúralismi og póstmódernismi eru útskýrð í tengslum við poppmenninguna en sá hluti sem snýr að öryggismálum er byggður á raunhyggju og frjálslyndisstefnu. Til að grundvalla umræðuna enn betur er mismunandi nálgun á baráttuna gegn hryðjuverkum skilgreind út frá svokölluðum „10. september hugsun“ og „12. september hugsun“. Í þeim birtast fræðilegar nálganir raunhyggju og frjálslyndisstefnu gagnvart öryggishugtakinu. Orðræðugreining leiddi í ljós að í mörgum tilvikum eru pyntingar sýndar í jákvæðu ljósi, múslimar gerðir að hryðjuverkamönnum og sértækar öryggisaðferðir gegn múslimum notaðar í sjónvarpsþáttunum 24.

  • 24 Season 7 (Aka Day 7) from Wikipedia.Org
    24 Season 7 (aka Day 7) from Wikipedia.org Season Seven takes place 46 months after Season Six. Jack Bauer is on trial for alleged crimes he committed while working for CTU. Senator Blaine Mayer has disbanded CTU and strengthened the policies of Allison Taylor's administration against torture. Bauer is brought into another counter-terrorist operation when FBI agent Renee Walker interrupts the hearing to tell him about an imminent threat. Day 7 is divided into small acts which portray the villains as having an ever-changing agenda. 1. Warlord Ike Dubaku breaches a government firewall and attempts to cause massive damage. 2. Dubaku subsequently tries to manipulate President Taylor by kidnapping her husband. 3. A unit of soldiers from Sangala invades the White House and takes President Taylor hostage. 4. Mercenaries from Starkwood acquire a prion weapon and threaten to deploy it on major American cities. 5. Tony betrays Jack and the FBI by stealing the last canister of the pathogen and attempting to use it against civilians. Major subplots • Senators are trying to send Jack to prison for life to make an example out of him. • Members of the Taylor family are still mourning the loss of Roger Taylor. • While Jack is happy to have his old friend back, he feels that something is not quite right. • Tony Almeida's return to the series. • Larry Moss tries to keep Renee Walker on the side of the law rather than adopting Jack's ruthless ways. • Renee has difficulty accepting situations that put civilians at risk for the greater good.
