About the book: Terror, Culture, Politics: 9/11 Reconsidered takes a critical look at the politics of American culture in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks. The volume takes as axiomatic—and, therefore, as demanding careful scrutiny—the connection between culture as creative expression and culture in the broader sense of the beliefs, values, and habits that members of a society hold in common. Coming from a wide array of disciplines—art history, history, literature, media studies, law, and political science—the contributors ask not so much how 9/11 changed American culture but how our existing cultural patterns, in such separate but linked domains as the media, public art, and political thought, shaped our responses to it.
About the author: Terry Nardin joined the Political Science Department at the National University of Singapore as Head in 2006 and also serves as Academic Convener of the International Studies Programme. Before going to NUS he was UWM Distinguished Professor at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. He studied at the University of Chicago and New York University and has a PhD from Northwestern University. He has been a Rockefeller Foundation Humanities Fellow, a Visitor in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and a Visiting Canterbury Fellow at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. Prof Nardin's research and teaching focuses on questions at the intersection of the fields of political theory and international relations, including questions about international law, international ethics, the morality of war, and the history of international thought. His current research is on theories of international and global justice and on democratic theory in an East Asian context, but he remains interested in many other topics in political and legal philosophy and the philosophy of the humanities and social sciences.
