Opis

September 11, the subway bombings in Europe, and Hurricane Katrina occurred in rapid succession. The outsized relationship between their historical significance and chronological span marked these episodes as 'events'. This book focuses on the rise of 'the event' as a form of experience and its re-emergence as a central term in critical theory.
