• W2299717871 abstract "September 11 has been etched on our memories. This article explores the uses and problems of memory in relation to responses to September 11, focusing largely on material from the USA and the Federal Republic of Germany as illustration, and argues that we might be better off forgetting September 11. The exhortation to remember is used to justify responding militarily abroad and, significantly, curtailing civil liberties at home. Criticism of these policies is difficult because of the moral cause established by the dead. However, the problematic of memory destabilises the possibility of straightforward knowledge and this is important for analysing the construction of a particular 'we' through distinguishing between 'us' and 'them' and the construction of September 11 as something exceptional. These constructions work together not only to make possible responses which are mere technical fixes, but also to undermine what may be said to constitute the identity of the West, other than as an entity under attack. This precludes the contemplation of alternative responses to the events which would take into account our responsibility towards others and the political power of renouncing a memory. It is in addressing the problematic of memory and, as a result, in considering such alternatives that we may find the affirmation of our identity that we currently seem unable to find. What is at stake are fundamental questions of politicsabout who we are, about how to address our inevitable vulnerability and our responsibility towards others. The footage of the two planes crashing, on September 11, 2001, into the towers of the World Trade Center has been broadcast over and over again. We cannot forget it. And just in case we should, there are websites which allow us to replay the footage as shown on different television stations across the globe.' September 11 has been etched on our memories not just because it can be seen as a momentous event: the superpower attacked on its very own territory,2 caught off guard, humiliated; a symbol of global capitalism devastated; nearly 3000 dead, innocent victims of a terrorist attack. Perhaps (although only perhaps) this was in some way new, as both US President George W Bush and Noam Chomsky argue in what must be a rare instance of agreement.3 That isn't, however, why we remember. We remember not (only) the interpretation of the event. We remember the picture. The planes hitting the towers, the burst of fire-and then the collapse. This was a tragic event for those whose loved ones died. But at the same time, it was a spectacle.
