Resumen
The research examines the discursive strategies related to the concept of terrorism used by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, from Derrida's post-structuralist approach. The 9/11 attacks on the United States are taken as reference to analyse how the issue of terrorism moved from a peripheral position in the discursive agenda of the former Prime Minister to the centre of his narratives after that date. As the reference to terrorism gains centrality, instabilities are also generated by the increased use of the term; in Blair's specific case, the author of the discourses chooses to recognise these instabilities and to relativise them through a contextualization and description of the specificities of the terrorist phenomenon.
