 28 Days Later as Post-September 11 Horror by Tony Nigro Violence is a powerful instrument of control, as history demonstrates. But the dilemmas of dominance are not slight. |
Distinguished linguistics professor and political activist Noam Chomsky wrote the above sentences to conclude an opinion piece he wrote about world affairs between Fall 2002 and Fall 2003. In the article, he refers to dominance in the context of the United States government’s use of power after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the so-called war on terrorism and liberation of Iraq, and other issues of concern. But Chomsky’s summation could just as easily refer to the themes of the horror film 28 Days Later.
