Cultivating Critical Eyes: Teaching 9/11 through Video and Cinema

Abstract

In the days immediately following the devastating events of 9/11, the Bush administration and the corporate media seemed as if they were conspiring in an infectious spread of convenient binaries: cowards and heroes, terrorists and freedom fighters, evil and godliness, us and them. This pervasive "Jihad vs. McWorld" 2 view had the same effects as a horror movie, which, in Stephen King's explanation, "takes away shades of gray" and "urges us to put away our penchant for analysis and to see things in pure blacks and whites." 3
