Abstract
would like to begin with a few brief reflections on the term enemy image, which takes on a number of different meanings in various disciplines. My personal orientation is toward a discourse theoretical understanding of the term, which I believe is viable considering discourse theory's interdisciplinarity and its compatibility with other approaches such as psychoanalysis and social psychology. As a means of explaining the delimited and operative concept of the enemy image I am proposing, I will recall a point Heinrich Boll made in a well-known speech on political imagery. Boll maintained that the minute we start referring to national traits, we conjure images that we generally can neither correct nor control.
