NASA can more effectively perform its missions by transferring its aeronautic responsibilities to the Federal Aviation Administration and be renamed the National Space Agency.

Writing Victims: Post-Terrorist Fiction(S) In The Basque Country And Spain, Roland Vazquez
Writing Victims: Post-Terrorist Fiction(S) In The Basque Country And Spain, Roland Vazquez
Re-visioning Terrorism
This paper examines the recent evolution of fiction in and about the Basque Country. I focus on depictions of the victims of ETA’s violence, and literature that documents their plight in the genres of the novel and short story. One trend is the movement away from “terrorist” and toward “victim” as the narrative focus. Another is an art increasingly in service to a political agenda. Although much of this corpus focuses on everyday details richer than those found in the mass media, social-scientific literature, or victim testimony, these forms often blur in their rhetorical styles.
