Blackness after 9/11: Topographies of race and counter-terror at the 9/11 memorial museum
More than a decade after the murder of Trayvon Martin and the creation of the Black Lives Matter protest movement, extrajudicial killings have become all too commonplace in the post-9/11 landscape, mirroring two decades of racialised surveillance against Arab and Muslim populations in the name of counter-terrorism. This paper maps Blackness' proximity to the U.S. nation-state amidst the emergence of 9/11 memory and the post-9/11 counter-terrorism…
Contrapuntal histories of war resistance: Mapping US war resister migrations, questioning Canada as safe haven
This paper frames two generations of war resister migration from the United States to Canada and the social movements that supported them as contrapuntal histories, disparate yet woven together, and entangled across space and time. We argue that Canada has functioned at key historical moments as safe haven for war resisters from and others fleeing conflict led by the United States, but that this role was always provisional, historically contingen…
Toxic landfills, survivor trees, and dust cloud memories: More-than-human ecologies of 9/11 memory
The symbolic power of grass, trees, flowers, stones, water, and other everyday objects to evoke more-than-human experiences is a cornerstone of memorial practice. As survivors of traumatic events, nonhuman elements have long been preserved in, even added to, memorial landscapes for their representational capacities to "say what cannot be said." Beyond their mobilization as passive symbols, the plants themselves also exert a "creative presence" th…
What the Nation Re-members: Resisting Victim Nationalism in Partition Memorial Project
This article theorizes artistic interventions that resist victim nationalism and hegemonic practices of trauma and memory. Engaging the work of feminist installation artist Pritika Chowdhry and her ongoing series Partition Memorial Project, I trace the artist's ability to dislodge nationalist histories of India's Partition. Specifically, I argue that Chowdhry's aestheticization of the female body is central to disrupting nationalist narratives of…
Contrapuntal Memories? Remembering the Holocaust in a Post-9/11 World
This essay traces the post-9/11 mapping of Holocaust memory throughout the United States as it converges with the U.S.-led war on terror and the memorialization of September 11th at the World Trade Center. For instance, comments made by George W. Bush during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaigns equated Barack Obama's advocacy for communications between the U.S. and former Iranian Prime Minister, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to the appeasement of Hitler a…
