Liston scrutinizes Italy's late twentieth-century political culture, particularly the impact of the former prime minister and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi. By doing so, she examines how this truth-bending political era made science, logic, and rationality into ideas that needed saving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the prevalence of fake news and our seeming lack of shared reality in the \"post-truth\" world, many people struggle to figure out where this new normal came from. Liston argues that seemingly disparate events and practices that have unfolded in Italy are historical reactions to mediatized political forms and particular, cultivated ways of knowing. Politics, then, is always sutured to how knowledge is structured, circulated, and processed. \u003ci\u003eThe Truth Society\u003c\/i\u003e offers Italy as a case study for understanding the remaking of politics in an era of disinformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noelle Molé Liston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150175078X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501750786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Noelle Molé Liston","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942468124927,"sku":"9781501750786","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9f1ad133-2283-473e-b95e-bef530c2edfa.jpg?v=1681492552","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/truth-society-noelle-mol-liston-9781501750786","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
