| Summary |
It has often been said that everything changed after 9/11. Popular, tele-visual and screen cultures were not immune. Television shows like 24, Battlestar Galactica, Family Guy and American Dad, and movies like Team America: World Police represented the post-9/11 world in complex and symbolic ways. Television shows like Friends, How I Met Your Mother and Dollhouse, and a Vogue: Italia fashion shoot grappled with the post-9/11 world through absences, presences and symbolic representations of cities and security. These are the artifacts of post-9/11 screen cultures, and witnesses cannot help but watch. |
