The author starts from Norbert Elias’ work on the civilization process and the formation of the modern state as a pacified society to underline that the problem of violence lies outside Elias’ scope, and demonstrate the existing approaches to supplementing his theory with (a) the definition of decivilization trends and the criteria for the identification of decivilization processes; (b) the description of the role and place of brutal violence in modern society; (c) a comprehensive but also heterogeneous picture of terrorism, especially suicide terrorism, i.e. its causes, manifestations and consequences. The author agrees with S.P. Huntington, that we live in a world with an increased risk of conflicts between civilizations and cultural strains rooting in the religious tradition (the re-politicization of religion and religious nationalism are considered attempts to fuse traditional religion with modern politics). Thus, the author concludes that the contemporary terrorism and especially its suicidal form is not only a specific form of (political) struggle, but also - metaphorically speaking - a “slap in the face” of the civilized Western world, an effort to challenge, shake and undermine the stability and the patterns of life in modern society. However, terrorism wants to influence not only the power system of society, but also the collective psyche of large groups and parts of the population to create a sort of theatre of horror with the rationally designed, staged and performed means of violence.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье обозначены ключевые научные подходы к изучению феномена терроризма в современном мире, в основе которых лежат такие понятия, как «(де)модернизация», «(рас)цивилизовывание», «религиозное возрождение», рациональные экономические цели религиозных движений под лозунгами «справедливой войны» или «космической войны» с силами зла. Статья начинается с обращения к работам Н. Элиаса, посвященным цивилизационным процессам и формированию современного государства как умиренного общества, однако эти работы оставляют за рамками рассмотрения проблему насилия. По мнению авторов, существует несколько возможностей дополнить теорию Элиаса проблематикой насилия: (а) определение тенденций расцивилизовывания и критериев идентификации соответствующих процессов; (б) обозначение роли и значения жестокого насилия в жизни современного общества; (в) выстраивание связной многоэлементной картины террора, особенно самоубийственного терроризма, т.е. описание его причин, проявлений и последствий. Авторы согласны с С.Ф. Хантингтоном в том, что мы живем в мире, где постоянно возрастает риск межцивилизационных конфликтов и культурных противоречий, корни которых лежат в религиозных традициях (по сути, речь идет о реполитизации религии и религиозном национализме - они стремятся инкорпорировать постулаты традиционной религии в политическую деятельность). Авторы приходят к выводу, что современный терроризм, особенно его самоубийственные формы, - это не просто особый вид (политической) борьбы, но также, если использовать метафорические конструкции, «пощечина» западному цивилизованному миру, попытка испытать на прочность и разрушить стабильные основания жизни современного общества. Причем терроризм стремится повлиять не только на политическую систему, но и на коллективную психику больших социальных групп и общностей, чтобы создать своеобразный театр ужаса, используя для этого рационально отобранные, просчитанные и апробированные средства насилия.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>terrorism</kwd><kwd>suicide terrorism</kwd><kwd>decivilization</kwd><kwd>religious movements</kwd><kwd>religious nationalism</kwd><kwd>causes and consequences or terrorism</kwd><kwd>identity of a terrorist</kwd><kwd>Western civilization</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>терроризм</kwd><kwd>самоубийственный терроризм</kwd><kwd>расцивилизовывание</kwd><kwd>религиозные движения</kwd><kwd>религиозный национализм</kwd><kwd>причины и последствия терроризма</kwd><kwd>идентичность террориста</kwd><kwd>западная цивилизация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Antonian J.
