The Rhetoric of Terror: Reflections on 9/11 and the War on Terror

More about the book

Exploring the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the book introduces the concept of "virtual trauma," highlighting how this event has left a profound cultural impact. The author, Marc Redfield, examines how the term "9/11" encapsulates both the trauma of the day and the complex ways it has been represented in various media. Through two interlinked essays, Redfield discusses the self-reflexivity in narratives surrounding 9/11, analyzing its portrayal in films like World Trade Center and United 93, which reflect the tension between reality and mediation.
