- Course Catalog Description:
- How American citizenship and nationhood have changed since 9/11. The event and its aftermath in historical perspective. Political, economic, and military antecedents. How 9/11 has changed relations between the U.S. government, U.S. citizens, immigrants, and international community. How 9/11 has been remembered.
- Class Description:
- The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11th are events that have reshaped the country (as well as the globe) racially, economically, politically, and culturally. In addition to examining the uneven global relations of power that frame the context of "the war on terror," tis course also explores 9/11 as an EVENT that shaped, transformed as well as reified cultural, racial, economic and gendered assumptions of multiple categories, identities and bodies. In particular, the course will investigate some of the larger consequences of racialized and religious profiling, and the consumptions of brown bodies in media and everyday life. To explore many of the above themes, this course will draw from interdisciplinary sources on media and culture to focus on how 1) visual culture and 2) everyday lived experiences are affected by the events of 9/11 and its aftermath. What is the racial, socio-cultural importance of events since September 11th? In particular, how do media, films, music and television shape the nation's understanding of itself, its enemies, and its place in the world since 9/11? The class will also look how 9/11 has been remembered and how the politics of memory shape notions of citizenship and nationhood.
