Abstract

Reeling from the financial collapse of his business, Chad Roe descends into a night of depravity, only to wake up a "marked" man -- literally -- his body covered in a permanent tattoo. But Chad will be only one of the many whose lives are forever changed after that Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001. Instead of picking up the pieces, he takes to the road, heading straight into the shell-shocked heart of America on a desperate search for salvation

Abstract

Une nouvelle ère s’est ouverte au début des années 1990 avec la fin de la guerre froide. Les bouleversements actuels appellent la remise en cause des anciennes références, des certitudes, des comportements et des structures traditionnelles des États. Depuis la première édition de cet ouvrage, les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 aux États-Unis et le regain de la lutte anti-terroriste au Moyen Orient ont rappelé au grand public l’importance des Services Secrets. L’apparition de nouvelles menaces et de formes inédites de violence pose un défi au fonctionnement des Services Secrets simultanément confrontés aux problèmes de la sécurité extérieure et intérieure. Les réalités d’un monde multipolaire, la contestation des fonctions régaliennes de l’État confronté au dynamisme du secteur privé, soulèvent d’autres interrogations. Si l’on ne procède pas à une véritable révolution des relations entre le pouvoir et ses Services Secrets, pourront-ils continuer de concourir à ce qui semble avoir été leur mission principale dans les pays démocratiques c’est-à-dire défendre les équilibres stratégiques, l’identité et l’indépendance nationales ? Cela dans le cadre d’une explosion technique dans les domaines de l’information et de la communication. Savoir et comprendre pour pouvoir, pouvoir pour empêcher ou pour imposer, l’appareil d’Etat ne saurait survivre aujourd’hui qu’en perfectionnant ses systèmes d’acquisition et de traitement de l’information, de toutes les informations, aussi bien celles qui sont ouvertes que celles qui sont plus ou moins secrètes. Cet ouvrage retrace des dialogues entre François Thual, auteur de nombreux ouvrages de géopolitique, et l’amiral Pierre Lacoste, ancien directeur général de la DGSE. Ce n’est ni un cours, ni un manuel, mais une prospection à deux à partir des fondements historiques, politiques et stratégiques des Services Secrets. Il vise à éclairer un public insuffisamment informé en raison même du secret qui entoure le sujet.

Abstract

In this most original examination of America's post-9/11 culture, Susan Faludi shines a light on the psychological response to the attacks on that terrible day. Turning her acute observational powers on the media, popular culture, and political life, Faludi unearths a societal drama shot through with baffling contradictions. Why, she asks, did Americans respond to an assault against American global dominance with a frenzied summons to restore 'traditional' manhood, marriage, and maternity? Why did they react as if the hijackers had targeted not a commercial and military edifice but the family home and nursery? Why did an attack fueled by hatred of Western emancipation lead them to a regressive fixation on 'Doris Day' womanhood and 'John Wayne' masculinity, with trembling 'security moms', swaggering presidential gunslingers, and the 'rescue' of a female soldier, Jessica Lynch, cast as a 'helpless little girl'?The answer, Faludi finds, lies in a uniquely American historical anomaly: the nation that in recent memory has been least vulnerable to domestic attack was forged in traumatizing assaults by nonwhite 'barbarians' on town and village. That humiliation lies concealed under a myth of cowboy bluster and feminine frailty, which is reanimated whenever threat and shame looms."The Terror Dream" is a brilliant and important new look at what 9/11 revealed about America.

Abstract

For Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Maus, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were both highly personal and intensely political. In the Shadow of No Towers, his first new book of comics since the groundbreaking Maus, is an account of the events and aftermath of that tragic day. Spiegelman and his family bore witness to the attacks in their lower Manhattan neighborhood: his teenage daughter had started school directly below the towers days earlier, and they had lived in the area for years. But the horrors they survived that morning were only the beginning for Spiegelman, as his anguish was quickly displaced by fury at the U.S. government, which shamelessly co-opted the events for its own preconceived agenda. He responded in the way he knows best. In an oversized, two-page-spread format that echoes the scale of the earliest newspaper comics (which Spiegelman says brought him solace after the attacks), he relates his experience of the national tragedy in drawings and text that convey - with his singular artistry and his characteristic provocation, outrage, and wit - the unfathomable enormity of the event itself, the obvious and insidious effects it had on his life, and the extraordinary, often hidden changes that have been enacted in the name of post-9/11 national security and that have begun to undermine the very foundation of American democracy.

Abstract

Der Sammelband geht in gleichermaßen interdisziplinärer wie interkultureller Perspektive der Frage nach, welche künstlerischen Reaktionen die Terroranschläge vom 11. September 2001 hervorgerufen haben: Wie wurde das die Weltöffentlichkeit erschütternde Ereignis visualisiert, wie inszeniert und literarisiert? In Beiträgen zur amerikanischen und deutschen Literatur, zu Theateraufführungen, Dokumentar- und Spielfilmen, zur Popmusik und zu bildkünstlerischen Werken werden (Re)Konstruktionen, Deutungen und Funktionalisierungen von ‚Nine Eleven’ analysiert, an denen sich über die Geltung als Einzelfälle hinaus die zentralen Muster der ästhetischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Schreckensszenario, seinen Voraussetzungen und Folgen zeigen.
