Beschreibungen

This book argues that twenty-first-century neorealist fiction is inspired by political and journalistic discourses and, along with them, constitutes one of the many representations of the attacks on September 11 and their outcomes.&nbsp;Adopting a neorealist stance, this book is placed at the intersection of realism and fiction, with often reference to what is perceived as objective writing (media and political texts), not at all so divorced from the practice of literary writings on the event that shook the world on September 11, 2001.<p></p>
1. Introduction - Towards Another Reading of 9/11 Neorealist Fiction.- 2. Making History: Politics and the Media in the Twenty-First Century.- 3. Literary Re-writings of History and Politics after 9/11.- 4. The Shattered Self of the West.- 5. Extreme Otherness: 'The Muslim Menace'.- 6. Afterthoughts.

Takes an interdisciplinary path by its recourse to history, sociology and cultural studies Accounts for the way in which the marks of the political and media discourses can be traced at the level of fiction, and proves that their imprint is manifest through context and text Recounts the historical context (with emphasis on 9/11) by referring to its encodings in official records, in the media and literary texts
