{"product_id":"9783031115189","title":"The Sleeper Agent in Post-9\/11 Media","description":"\u003ch1\u003eThe Sleeper Agent in Post-9\/11 Media\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eOssa, Vanessa\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book examines the figure of the sleeper agent as part of post-9\/11 political, journalistic and fictional discourse. There is a tendency to discuss the terroristic threat after 9\/11 as either a faraway enemy to be hunted down by military force or, on the other hand, as a ubiquitous, intangible threat that required constant alertness at home. The missing link between these two is the sleeper agent – the foreign enemy hiding among US citizens. By analyzing popular television shows, several US comic books, and a broad variety of Hollywood films that depict sleeper agents direct or allegorically, this book explores how a shift in perspective—from terrorist to sleeper agent—brings new insights into our understanding of post-9\/11 representations of terrorism. The book’s interdisciplinary focus between media studies, cultural studies, and American studies, suggests that it will find an audience in a variety of fields, including historical research, narratology, popular culture, as well asmedia and terrorism studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-01-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031115189\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-11516-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 323\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47716825661580,"sku":"9783031115189","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031115189.jpg?v=1776867428","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031115189","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
