Savagery in democracy's empire
Article Abstract:
A brief review on the recurrence and development of language of savagery throughout US history, from America's 18th century revolution to the post-World War II American century and from Cold War to the present open-ended war on terror is presented. The three main dimensions of the image of savagery and multiple sets of decivilising vehicles are identified as an initial step towards language critique.
