{"product_id":"a-mashup-world-irina-perianova-9781527521346","title":"A Mashup World: Hybrids, Crossovers and Post-Reality","description":"In the 21st century, hybrids (such as hybrid war, hybrid regimes, hybrid cars, and hybrid identities, among others) have become all-pervasive, and the computer term â oemashup⠝ has turned into a symbol of hybridity. This book highlights the phenomenon of hybridity and hybridization from a variety of angles and perspectives â \" in social and cultural practices, education and fiction â \" and notes the connecting patterns between hybridization in different fields of human endeavour. \u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most important hallmark of our age is the crossover into the virtual. The spread of hybrids in â oepost-reality⠝ has snowballed due to the Internet and the ease of the web-based dissemination of information and disinformation. New entities, such as fake news, have been put together using collage techniques with the result that make-believe events produce real-life effects. Without the special analysis provided in this book, this non\/reality generated to manipulate people is unlikely to be differentiated from authentic stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irina Perianova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527521346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527521346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.90d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Irina Perianova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518805815551,"sku":"9781527521346","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e3f0c5c-ac37-43f0-b106-0401d7fe0d24.jpg?v=1778735719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-mashup-world-irina-perianova-9781527521346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
