- Drawing on research and site visits to the US over five years, Frames of Memory after 9/11 required a comprehensive overview of the commemoration of 9/11, contextualising the attacks within the longer history of American memorial culture. Research for the book also necessitated examining a wealth of commemorative media, including novels, films, museum exhibits, monuments, military tribunals, and Presidential addresses, and extensive reading across several different disciplinary fields, including American studies, memory and trauma studies, museum studies, literature, history, politics, and law.

- Additional information
- Chapter One contains a limited amount of text that appeared previously in The Journal of American Studies, vol. 45, no. 4 (2011). Some of the sites and texts examined in Chapter Three also formed the basis of an article first published in Culture, Theory and Critique, vol. 53, no. 2 (2012). The analysis of these goes considerably beyond, however, the scope of the earlier article. Chapters 2 and 4, the introduction and conclusion, as well as the majority of chapters 1 and 3, are entirely new research. Overall, material published before 2014 amounts to less than 15% of the book.
