In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the 'US War on Terror' following it, a number of writers asked what the future of fiction could be after such a rupture. ‘9/11’ has evoked manifold literary responses in form of short stories, novels, testimonios, blogs, or graphic novels. Many of the life-writing texts by detainees who, being categorised as "enemy combatants", were denied legal cases, played a role in the court cases launched against the US government.
In this seminar, we will examine the impact ‘9/11’ and the 'War on Terror', particularly the opening of the detention camp in Guantánamo, Cuba, as a global media event. We will look at texts and artworks written and produced by (former) detainees at the military camp in Guantánamo as well as film representing these stories and court cases, from an interamerican and global entanglement lens.
Starts on April 11.
