The events of September 11, 2001 occurred as we were planning the first Virtual Case Book. Like many others, we found that 9-11 presented a challenge and opportunity to think through the place and significance of new media and cultural activism in the face of an unprecedented shift in the global political landscape in which communications and media - especially the internet - are playing an increasingly important role. While valuable analyses of the dominant and mass media's quick containment of the meanings of 9-11 circulated soon after the crisis, we were struck by the absence of serious discussion of the kinds of mediation we were witnessing all around us. ...
