I try to explore after-effects of 9-11 and its affabulation in Art Spiegelman’s In the Shadow of No Towers, a comix collage of 9-11. Though the text seems to be chaotic and fragmentary, Spiegelman tries to depict the hidden fault lines where his personal/collective experience or personal/world history collide and how past can be a cause of a future effect. While his Pulitzer winning work, Maus depicted the survivors of the Holocaust as mice, In the Shadow of No Towers shows anonymous private individuals through the fable of anthropomorphic mice equally terrified of their own government and of terrorism in post 9-11 era. As Spiegelman says in the text, they are waiting for the other shoe to drop. According to Derrida, a fable is a fiction supposed to faire savoir in a double sense: in the sense of bringing some knowledge to the awareness of the other, making the other know, and in the sense of making like knowledge, giving the effect of knowing, a false knowing, a simulacrum of knowing(34-35). This article examines what has been happening since 9-11 attests to becoming-fabulous of political action and discourse and how a fable can be a useful medium to show the invisible or unsayable which has not yet been carried off and inscribed in public memory in Spiegelman’s text.
Abstract
I try to explore after-effects of 9-11 and its affabulation in Art Spiegelman’s In the Shadow of No Towers, a comix collage of 9-11. Though the text seems to be chaotic and fragmentary, Spiegelman tries to depict the hidden fault lines where his personal/collective experience or personal/world history collide and how past can be a cause of a future effect. While his Pulitzer winning work, Maus depicted the survivors of the Holocaust as mice, In the Shadow of No Towers shows anonymous private individuals through the fable of anthropomorphic mice equally terrified of their own government and of terrorism in post 9-11 era. As Spiegelman says in the text, they are waiting for the other shoe to drop. According to Derrida, a fable is a fiction supposed to faire savoir in a double sense: in the sense of bringing some knowledge to the awareness of the other, making the other know, and in the sense of making like knowledge, giving the effect of knowing, a false knowing, a simulacrum of knowing(34-35). This article examines what has been happening since 9-11 attests to becoming-fabulous of political action and discourse and how a fable can be a useful medium to show the invisible or unsayable which has not yet been carried off and inscribed in public memory in Spiegelman’s text.
