Overview
- Analyzes multiple popular culture forms in context with one another to illustrate how diverse media create a wider manifestation of cultural trauma over time
- Evidences how popular culture serves as a site for regarding and negotiating September 11 as a cultural trauma while suggesting how cultural trauma might be recognized and negotiated at other times of stark cultural change
- Distinguishes cultural trauma as an intersubjective phenomenon from psychological trauma and its individualized emphasis
