Synopsis "11-09-2001 (in Catalan)"

11/09/2001, el darrer llibre de noam chomsky estructurat a través de set llargues entrevistes de periodistes estrangers durant el primer mes i mig posterior als atacs al world trade center i al pentàgon, és un assaig lúcid i contundent sobre els fets i les conseqüències dels atemptats de l"11 de setembre. 11/09/2001 no solament analitza les causes i les conseqüències dels atemptats i la reacció del poble nord-americà sinó que qüestiona les raons de la guerra i els bombardeigs.brbrchomsky, sempre crític amb el poder i la indústria militar, dóna una visió radicalment nova del conflicte, s"oposa a una guerra que tan sols infligirà un enorme càstig a víctimes innocents i revela els interessos ocults dels països occidentals. aquest llibre, sens dubte, generarà un debat profund i remourà la nostra consciència.

Noam Chomsky (born in 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher, and political activist, considered one of the most influential intellectual figures of the 20th century. He revolutionized linguistics with his theory of generative grammar, introduced in Syntactic Structures (1957), and further developed in Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965). His approach transformed the study of language, linking it to cognition and the human mind. In 2019, he was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Humanities for his exceptional contributions to the study of human language.

In addition to his work in linguistics, Chomsky is known for his critique of the media and US foreign policy. Along with Edward S. Herman, he co-wrote Manufacturing Consent (1988), where they present the model of media propaganda. Other notable works include Hegemony or Survival (2003), which analyzes US foreign policy, and Reflections on Language (1975), where he defends a rationalist perspective on human nature. His output spans political essays, linguistics, and philosophy, consolidating his legacy as a critical and multidisciplinary thinker.
