| Summary: | Round-the-clock news on the war in the Gulf in the winter of 1991 dominated life here in North America for almost two months. Never before had a war been so closely followed by us mere civilians. Never before had we had such an intimate look at how media and state colluded with each other in the narrative of war. A smart bomb was the real victory and the war its infomercial. Interference is the story of a North American Penelope. Like her predecessor, the war in distant places interferes in the daily life of her weaving. But this modern Penelope also has the power of the Gods. She can see what is happening in the trenches of that distant place of Troy from the TV perch of America's safe Olympian domain: vision without morality -- Concetta Principe. |
