This event is called a “movie” in a George Gerbner essay that concludes a book on this event, Triumph of the Image. Paul Patton’s introduction to a book about this event discusses its author’s claim that writing about it was a “stupid gamble.” A book claims that, on the Richter scale, this event “would not even reach two or three” (-5[1])and calls it emblematic of our “logic of weak events.” The claim that, with this event, a space has become definitively (*) “non-Euclidean” is mocked in a book by Bricmont and Sokal. An author who chose to witness this event from his apartment wrote a trio of essays about it whose titles differ in their verb tense and riff on a Jean Giraudoux play. Those essays argue that this event came to be dominated by a media-generated (10[1])simulacrum. For 10 points, (10[1])the provocative title of a collection by Jean Baudrillard claims that what conflict “did not take place?” ■END■ (0[1])
