9/11 : The Culture of Commemoration
ISBN: 9780226759395 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a general sense that the world was different that nothing would ever be the same settled upon a grieving nation; the events of that day were received as cataclysmic disruptions of an ordered world. Refuting this claim, David Simpson examines the complex and paradoxical character of American public discourse since that September morning, considering the ways the event has been aestheticized, exploited, and appropriated, while Ground Zero remains the contested site of an effort at adequate commemoration.
In "9/11, "Simpson argues that... After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a general sense that the world was different that nothing would ever be the same settled upon a gri...
