             Subject: Tactical media, cultural activism, and 9/11: A new online
    teaching resource

    NEW TEACHING RESOURCE FOR TACTICAL MEDIA AND CULTURAL ACTIVISM, FOCUSES
    ON POST-9.11 MEDIA WORLDS, FROM LOWER MANHATTAN TO THE WEST BANK AND
    INDONESIA

    "9-11 and after: a virtual case book" (www.nyu.edu/fas/projects/vcb)

    After September 11, 2001, Manhattan overflowed with ephemeral media of
    all sorts, expressing people's efforts to comprehend and communicate
    their unprecedented experiences, losses, and confusion.

    "9-11 and after: a virtual case book", a project of the Center for
    Media, Culture and History at New York University, collects essays,
    interviews, web links and images that document and analyze these
    responses, which are in danger of being forgotten.

    The editors, Barbara Abrash and Faye Ginsburg, invite you to use this
    resource for study and teaching on media, society and politics. Your
    feedback is welcomed at cmch@nyu.edu.
