This article contends that the American commemoration of 9/11 has been dominantly conducted in a compelling, spectacularized manner. The obligation to remember is accompanied by an expectation that this memory will be put on display in the form of emotional expression and/or memory objects. Significantly, this memory cultus affects not only the public remembrance of 9/11 but also the way its bereavements can be lived privately. Mike Binder's 2007 film Reign over Me, which focuses on the refusal of a man who lost his wife and children on 9/11 to openly remember and mourn them, is analyzed as harboring a critical commentary on compelling, spectacularized forms of memory and mourning predicated on a notion of work as efficient, profitable, and quantifiable production.

令人信服的记忆:9/11 和 Mike Binder统治我的哀悼工作

本文认为,美国对 9/11 的纪念活动主要以引人注目的、壮观的方式进行。记忆的义务伴随着这种记忆将以情感表达和/或记忆对象的形式展示的期望。重要的是,这种记忆崇拜不仅影响公众对 9/11 的纪念,而且影响其丧亲之痛的私人生活方式。迈克·宾德 (Mike Binder) 2007 年的电影《统治我》(Reign over Me) 聚焦于一个在 9/11 事件中失去妻子和孩子的男人拒绝公开纪念和哀悼他们的故事,被分析为对引人注目的、壮观的记忆和哀悼形式进行了批判性评论。将工作视为高效、有利可图和可量化的生产。
