{"product_id":"a-political-theory-of-post-truth-ignas-kalpokas-9783319977126","title":"A Political Theory of Post-Truth","description":"This book combines political theory with media and communications studies in order to formulate a theory of post-truth, concentrating on the latter's preconditions, context, and functions in today's societies. Contrary to the prevalent view of post-truth as primarily manipulative, it is argued that post-truth is, instead, a collusion in which audiences willingly engage with aspirational narratives co-created with the communicators. Meanwhile, the broader meta-framework for post-truth is provided by mediatisation--increasing subjection of a variety of social spheres to media logic and the primacy of media in everyday human activities. Ultimately, post-truth is governed by collective efforts to maximise the pleasure of encountering the world and attempts to set hegemonic benchmarks for such pleasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignas Kalpokas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319977121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319977126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d","brand":"Ignas Kalpokas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073604251903,"sku":"9783319977126","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3dc6a3bb-00ae-472f-aeda-d10790184708.jpg?v=1685448808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-political-theory-of-post-truth-ignas-kalpokas-9783319977126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
