Overview
- Takes an interdisciplinary path by its recourse to history, sociology and cultural studies
- Accounts for the way in which the marks of the political and media discourses can be traced at the level of fiction, and proves that their imprint is manifest through context and text
- Recounts the historical context (with emphasis on 9/11) by referring to its encodings in official records, in the media and literary texts
