dc.description.abstractThis Bachelor’s thesis seeks to understand as to how the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum website represents 9/11 in terms of education, commemoration and commercialization, examining several aspects within these three major categories to examine what the website offers for its visitors. I have applied the theory of discourse analysis as developed by Foucault and as well as Gillian Rose’s visual methodology and Leonard Orr’s semiotics to analyze the website’s contents. The findings of this research show that the website operates in order to achieve the goal of representing 9/11 in ways corresponding to educating its visitors, commemorating 9/11 and “selling” 9/11 through an online gift store, but also through the use and application of colors, font and typeface.en_US
