Projecting 9/11 examines sensibilities and ideologies that arose
after September 11, 2001, and how these intersect with issues of
race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship in contemporary mainstream
films. The authors argue that the social and political project that
is "9/11" can be found in most cultural artifacts produced after
the date, including film. In essence, Hollywood films project the
9/11 project. The book analyzes the specific ways in which recent
Hollywood films have become both powerful forces of significance
and also forceful representations of reality about post-9/11 life.
From films that explicitly treat subjects related to 9/11, such as
United 93 and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, to films that
show post-9/11 themes in less-expected ways, such as Eat, Pray,
Love and World War Z, the authors explore tensions around race,
gender, and sexuality. The book examines our perceptions of reality
after the events of September 11, 2001, as shown by one of the more
influential means of cultural representation-Hollywood films.
