{"product_id":"9780982806135","title":"Terror On The Screen","description":"The 9\/11 attacks have had many extraordinary consequences. The horrific violence of that day ushered in a different world, a different time. We have all become, in one way or another, witnesses in the global theatre of terrorism. Terrorists want their violence to take on a theatrical quality, and be watched. The 9\/11 attacks were successful to this end. It was not long before our imaginations were running wild.\u003cbr\u003eMany fields of post-9\/11 popular, tele-visual and screen cultures changed substantially, other subtly.\u003cbr\u003e\"Through dazzling close readings of a wide variety of cultural texts, from the Battlestar Galactica reboot to post-9\/11 pornography, Howie is able to demonstrate how the politics and poetics of \"witnessing\" have come to structure the experience of American popular culture in the past decade.\" -Jeff Melnick, University of Massachusett, Boston.\u003cbr\u003e\"After reading Howie's ingenious updating of visual theory I would paraphrase Morpheus from The Matrix and say \"welcome to the oasis of interpretation\". This book is a much-needed analysis of the dangers to be found when a whole society risks living in an uncritical, ideological version of the witness protection program!\" -Paul A. Taylor, University of Leeds, UK.","brand":"New Academia Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50032378740976,"sku":"9780982806135","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780982806135_p0.jpg?v=1784242629","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780982806135","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
