[Reader-list] Dr.Veena Das on WTC

[Bhrigu]

I would like to post a short and extremely interesting essay by Dr.Veena Das 
on the WTC events and the aftermath. The essay raises important questions - 
simultaenously theoretical and political, while addressing the dilemma of 
moral/political committment in contemporary social theory. The essay also 
comments usefully on the ways in which language is being deployed in relation 
to what is now known as "Sept. 11", to build a larger set of claims.
