Abstract
This paper theorizes by means of classical and contemporary social and political theory the figure of the terrorist entrepreneur. The figure is extracted from The 9/11 Commission Report—loosened from the person of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, coordinator of the attacks on the World Trade Centre, shown to express violations of category differences between East and West introduced by Max Weber and still in circulation today. Drawing upon contemporary Italian political theory of semiocapitalism and the strange fauna of political and rhetorical entrepreneurialism found in the works of Maurizio Lazzarato and Paolo Virno, the contemporary features of the terrorist entrepreneur are described.
