CFP: New book on Popular Culture and 9/11 (Greenwood Publishing, forthcoming)
Essays sought (750-1000 words each) for a forthcoming volume on popular culture since September 11th. Essays must be written from a critical or cultural studies approach. Planned book chapters will cover a wide range of topics including Everyday Life; Advertising; Architecture; Literature; Music; Television; Movies; Sports; News; American Icons. Essays should discuss specific elements of popular culture within these chapter categories and will function as case studies that illustrate the connection between September 11th and popular culture. For example, an essay in the Architecture chapter could be a semiotic example of Ground Zero memorials. An essay in the Movies chapter could be critical look at the role 9/11 has played in films (or one specific film) since 2001.
