The Securitization of Memorial Space argues that the National
September 11 Memorial and Memorial Museum is a securitized site of
memory—what Foucault called a dispositif—that polices visitors
and publics to remember trauma, darkness, and victimage in ways
that perpetuate the “necessity” of the Global War on Terrorism.
Contributing to studies in public memory, rhetoric and
argumentation, and critical security studies, Nicholas S. Paliewicz
and Marouf Hasian Jr. show how various human and nonhuman actors
participated in complicated argumentative formations that have
mobilized political, performative, and militaristic practices of
anti-terroristic violence in other parts of the world. While there
were times that certain argumentative stakeholders—such as local
New Yorkers—questioned the necessity of securitizing this site of
memory, agentic factions including the families of those who died
on 9/11, public supporters, security agents, and politicians
created an ideologically oriented security assemblage that
remembers 9/11 through counter-terroristic performances at Ground
Zero. In chronological order from the 2001 “dustbowl” to the
present popularization of 9/11 memories, the authors present seven
chapters of rich rhetorical analysis that show how the National
September 11 Memorial and Memorial Museum perpetuates grief,
uncertainty, and angst that affects public memory in
multidirectional ways.
