Beschreibung
This book examines the commemoration of 9/11 in American memorial culture. It argues that the emergence of counter-memories of September 11 has been compromised by the dominance of certain narrative paradigms – or, frames of memory – that have mediated the representation of the attacks across cultural, critical, political, and juridical discourses.

"Lucy Bond has produced a compelling analysis of the post-9/11 literary and legal cultures that draw upon and stretch the limits of the conventions of memory studies (and above all trauma studies) in place at the time of the event. Her book will appeal to those seeking a clear and comprehensive overview of the topic, as well as to readers already invested in the detailed study of the effects of 9/11, to whom she offers many new insights." - David Simpson, UC Davis, USA
