영문 초록

The aim of this investigation is to shed light on American political plays that deal with the events of September 11th, 2001. "9/11" is symbolic of an infinite number of cultural and political events, such as the fall of the World Trade Center, the American invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, American Exceptionalism, Fundamentalism, and the conflicts between the East and the West. The United States considers the fullness of the powers as the center of biopolitics inside and outside of her territorial areas, the functions and logic of which will be investigated through Giorgio Agamben's notions of homo sacer and the state of exception. The civil societies of America and Iraq, as well as Guantánamo prison and the Gaza Strip, imply internal sedition and disorder, which are well illustrated and disputed in the documentary dramas examined in this essay. The documentary drama genre expresses the necessity for new information, corrections of media reports, and the rewriting of histories. Political plays in documentary form pronounce necessary and subjective judgments on the inquiry into truth when dealing with the aftermath of an event. 9/11 represents a state of exception in which law is not in force in everyday life and where political, religious, and cultural norms call into question the existence of their application in the private and public spheres. In witnessing biopolitics that introduces anomic space into social relations, documentary dramas furnish proof that there is a zone of indeterminacy in history writing and that there should be critical judgment on human actions in the present.
