Denying the Truth: Revisiting The X-Files after 9/11 By M. Crang Kindle Edition Denying the Truth: Revisiting The X Files after 9/11 AN UNAUTHORIZED SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH Denying The Truth examines the impact of 9/11 on the popular and critical reception of the television text, The X Files. Although it was once one of the most culturally resonant television shows of the 1990s, The X Files quickly dropped in popularity following the events of 9/11. This book asks the question why?, as well as attempting to explain the reasons for the shows initial success. The author examines the political and ideological perspectives of the show, and also offers an in depth analysis of the narrative and filmic techniques that set the events of the series in the real world. Featuring a concise analysis of every instalment in the series so far, this book offers a fans perspective of The X Files. For a completely unauthorized look at the reception of this remarkable series, the truth is in here 5 I liked where this book was going It s a readable academic text that really effectively delineates how The X Files as a cultural artifact proved untenable in the post 9 11 American media landscape It argues nicely the distinction between the many different reasons for the show s decline and convincingly posits 9 11 as perhaps the final strike against it I feel like there was that the author could have brought into the discussion in order to land it solidly within its historical context though For instance Crang cites a swerve toward trust in government post 9 11 as one reason for The X Files downfall If that is so then why does the Bourne Identity which is essentially a libertarian wetdream become one of the most popular action adventure movies in 2002 The second half of the book which goes through the series episode by episode is kind of pointless and unrelated to the first half which is the real important bit M Crang An intriguing read of the X Files and its place in 90s popular culture A must read for fans of the 90s or the X Files M Crang
