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. Many fields of post-9\/11 popular, tele-visual and screen cultures changed substantially, other subtly. \"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. \"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luke Howie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0982806132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780982806135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Academia Publishing\/ The Spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2012","brand":"Luke Howie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46052206412031,"sku":"9780982806135","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dadbcd9a-24c4-40e7-a8f4-2b28412d9b20.jpg?v=1723555647","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/terror-on-the-screen-luke-howie-9780982806135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
