The Selling of 9/11 - How a National Tragedy Became a Commodity (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)

The Selling of 9/11 argues that the marketing and commodification
of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, reveal the
contradictory processes by which consumers in the United States
(and around the world) use, communicate, and construct national
identity and their sense of national belonging through cultural and
symbolic goods. Contributors illuminate these processes and make
important connections between myths of nation, practices of
mourning, theories of trauma, and the politics of post-9/11
consumer culture. Their essays take critical stock of the role that
consumer goods, media and press outlets, commercial advertising,
marketers and corporate public relations have played in shaping
cultural memory of a national tragedy.
