{"product_id":"9783319642086","title":"9\/11 in European Literature","description":" This volume looks at the representation of 9\/11 and the resulting wars in European literature. In the face of inner-European divisions the texts under consideration take the terror attacks as a starting point to negotiate European as well as national identity. While the volume shows that these identity formations are frequently based on the construction of two Others—the US nation and a cultural-ethnic idea of Muslim communities—it also analyses examples which undermine such constructions. This much more self-critical strand in European literature unveils the Eurocentrism of a supposedly general humanistic value system through the use of complex aesthetic strategies. These strategies are in itself characteristic of the European reception as the Anglo-Irish, British, Dutch, Flemish, French, German, Italian, and Polish perspectives collected in this volume perceive of the terror attacks through the lens of continental media and semiotic theory. ","brand":"Svenja Frank","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595820351806,"sku":"9783319642086","price":3591.97,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783319642086.jpg?v=1707708073","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783319642086","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
