is a critical event that marks the beginning of the new century in the American hemisphere if not the world. This event resulted in a major shift in the foreign policy doctrine of the United States.

Against this backdrop of enduring, region-wide vulnerability, we ask how conditions have changed since the dawn of the twenty-first century. It could be argued that 9/11 is a critical event that marks the beginning of the new century in the American hemisphere if not the world. This event resulted in a major shift in the foreign policy doctrine of the United States. The concept of homeland security represents a new understanding of the linkage between foreign and domestic policy. Terrorism is now the centre of attention of US foreign and domestic policy alike.

is an event about which we will know only in retrospect if it implies a break or merely confirms a long known vulnerability of our complex civilization.

Only in retrospect will we be able to understand if the symbolically suffused collapse of the capitalistic citadels in lower Manhattan implies a break of that type or if this catastrophe merely confirms, in an inhuman and dramatic way, a long known vulnerability of our complex civilization. If an event is not as unambiguously important as the French Revolution once was not long after that event Kant had spoken about a 'historical sign' that pointed toward a 'moral tendency of humankind' only 'effective history' can adjudicate its magnitude in retrospect.'

is an event referred to by a simple date on the calendar because of the uncertainty of what happened there and the powerlessness of language to label the attack.

He is firstly interested in the question of language and the emergence of the 'new', and thus, conjointly, the 'act of naming something new' by its date, because of the uncertainty of what happened and the powerlessness of language to identify and label the attacks of September 11. The 'event' is reduced to an 'intuition without a concept', an 'incantation' repeated continuously, by which metonymy substitutes a date for the traumatic attacks

is an event which, if it were predictable, as one might claim, then it was not a major event but merely induced an impression of a major event.

At first, for Derrida, September 11th attacks were predictable, then 9/11 is not a 'major' event, but rather induced an 'impression' of major event, in the Humean empiricist sense, which form the 'idea' of a major event. Symmetrically, impressions are imposed on individuals by the discourse of the media and the officials, who construct propaganda-impressions that 'spectacularize' September 11, thus make it a major event.
