The blinding cross: Totalising narratives of 9/11

Good, Jennifer (2016) The blinding cross: Totalising narratives of 9/11. In: Art and Terrorism, 27th February 2016, Courtauld Institute of Art.

Type of Research:	Conference, Symposium or Workshop Item
Creators:	Good, Jennifer
Description:	Like many violent events, 9/11 and its photographic representation seem to have prompted contradictory impulses: to look and to look away. This talk considers framing narratives put forward in the aftermath (largely via photography), which have rationalized the attacks according to a redemptive religious interpretation, while at the same time betraying a darker counter-narrative that can best be understood by means of the Freudian uncanny.
