The aim of this paper is to consider David Benioff's novel 'The 25th Hour' (2000) and the film version by Spike Lee (2002) in the light of their New York setting, examining how the intersection of the two space-time axes - the horizontal and the vertical - can be related to the 2001 attacks on the WTC. Whereas the representation of the horizontal cityscape image comes along with hope and dream, the vertical direction entails a catastrophic image of NYC.

The aim of this paper is to consider David Benioff's novel 'The 25th Hour' (2000) and the film version by Spike Lee (2002) in the light of their New York setting, examining how the intersection of the two space-time axes - the horizontal and the vertical - can be related to the 2001 attacks on the WTC. Whereas the representation of the horizontal cityscape image comes along with hope and dream, the vertical direction entails a catastrophic image of NYC.File in questo prodotto:
