Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- The World Trade Center and Global Crisis: Some Critical Perspectives -- An Empire of a Certain Kind -- September 11th and After -- From Nine-Eleven to Seven-Eleven: The Poverty of Interpretation -- Ground Zero Point One: On the Cinematics of History -- Humanitarianism, Terror and the Transnational Border -- Arab Americans and the Criminalization of Dissent -- “My Son is a Fanatic” or How to Have Things Both Ways in a Heritage Debate -- Just Wars, Civilisation and Empire in Postmodernity: Perspectives from South of the Rio Grande -- September 11 and October 7: From Human Tragedy to Power Politics -- The New Leviathan and the Crisis of Criticism in the Social Sciences -- Notes on Contributors
Summary: Numerous humanly caused destructions of just the last hundred years dwarf the World Trade Center disaster, and the attention still addressed to it may over the next few years appear disproportionate. But the significance of events is always determined by the social, political, and cultural forces that are articulated through a particular event. The attack of 9/11 was an event waiting to happen, and when it did occur the even itself became a catalyst and impetus for the changing and redirection of global realities. This volume offers provocative assessments of the reaction to the event from a variety of perspectives that will no doubt stimulate the debate on the meaning and consequences of 9/11.
