{"product_id":"9783031115158","title":"The Sleeper Agent in Post-9\/11 Media (2022)","description":"\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 323 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023-01-02\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46477798670467,"sku":"9783031115158","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9783031115158.jpg?v=1770300348","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9783031115158","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
