In three volumes spanning centuries, Lieutenant Colonel Roman Jarymowycz recounts the story of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada, the oldest Highland regiment in the country. He traces its history from the roots, when soldiers, settlers, and militia volunteers rallied to defend the southern borders of their adopted country against invasion from the United States. Drawing on diaries, letters, classified documents, and the regimental archive, Jarymowycz weaves the strands of a complex story into an epic narrative of a resolute collective of officers and men.

Die Propaganda der terroristischen Miliz „Islamischer Staat“ hat für Aufsehen gesorgt und die Debatte um das Internet und vor allem das „Social Web“ als Risikotechnologie oder Gefahrenraum mitbestimmt. Dabei setzt der IS auf ein breites Spektrum medialer und gestalterischer Formen und Formate einer globalen, digitalen Medienkultur, um ein internationales Publikum zu erreichen: Online-Videos, anashid (Lieder) und Computerspiele; Internet-Meme, Social Media Posting oder Selfies. Der Sammelband gibt Einblick in die Bandbreite dieser jihadistischen Kommunikate, ihrer Ausdrucks- und Darstellungsweisen und zeigt dabei Möglichkeiten der Einordnung und der Auseinandersetzung auf.

Dopo la strage di Charlie Hebdo e i video delle esecuzioni di giornalisti occidentali, l'orrore dell'ISIS è entrato nelle nostre case, e la sua guerra mediatica ne ingigantisce il pericolo. Questa regia lo distingue da al-Qaeda, tanto che per Ballardini il modo in cui l'ISIS fa propaganda si può considerare l'11 settembre della comunicazione politica. Al nostro etnocentrismo, l'ISIS risponde specularmente, con un Califfato oltre il quale non possono esistere altre culture. Al nostro imperialismo risponde con la globalizzazione dell'Islam. Ai nostri miti contrappone altrettanti miti, opposti e arcaici. In gioco è l'occidentalizzazione del mondo, e per questo il principale campo di battaglia sono i media stessi. Ballardini analizza le ragioni storiche e le tecniche di questa guerra culturale, e ci costringe a riflettere anche sul nostro modello di pensiero unico, di cui l'ISIS, ci piaccia o no, è figlio, come la stessa Hillary Clinton ha ammesso: L'ISIS è roba nostra, ma ci è sfuggita di mano.
