{"product_id":"9783643906274","title":"9\/11 and Its Remediations in Popular Culture and Arts in Africa","description":"9\/11 has been described as an \"absolute event\" that radically changed the course of history. It reinforced the opposition between Christian and Muslim worlds and led to the declaration of a unilateral war against a global network of terrorists that broke up the classical definition of war as a war between nation states. Yet, 9\/11 also created responses in parts of the world that were not directly involved in the unfolding \"war on terror.\" In Africa, local conflicts were re-mapped into an emerging new geography of anger that also reflects the effects of marginalization in a globalized world. The essays of this volume explore local remediations of 9\/11 in African popular culture (posters, photographs, videos, cartoons, etc.) and visual arts. They give evidence of the fundamental ambivalence towards the event of 9\/11 and provide insights into the various ways distant conflicts are translated into intense proximities.
