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” 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 (-5[1])and Sokal. An author (-5[1])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 simulacrum. For 10 points, the (10[1])provocative title of a collection by Jean Baudrillard claims that what conflict “did not take (10[1])place?” ■END■
