9/11 and the rise of thana capitalism: towards a theory of emotions?

Abstract

This essay review centers on the reason why dark tourism not only has been widely studied, but also to what extent gives rise to a new stage of capitalism, which was reinforced after 11/9, where death plays a vital role. In the days of Thana Capitalism, far from what current literature suggests, some disrupting cultural values as competence, the needs of being exceptional, and individualism remain. Mass media and entertainment cultural industry have commoditized death not only as a mechanism towards escapement and entertainment, but as a reason of status and discrimination.
