Om bidragsyterne
Jacob C. Miller is a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Northumbria University."A prescient, compelling, ontologically and methodologically rich contribution to the understanding of this spectacular, chilling, and exciting moment in time, and hopefully, an alarm to awake us from dream-sleep." The AAG Review of Books
This radical and experimental book advances a new approach to understanding spectacle, one that helps us better understand how consumer culture paved the way for the post-truth politics of Donald Trump.
Miller innovatively blends social and political theory, newspaper articles and contemporary commentary on Trump and Trumpism to provide a unique perspective on how capitalism intersects with and enables fascistic forms of power.
His analysis contributes fresh insights to the rise of Trump and the politics of everyday consumer culture today.
Les mer
This book advances new perspectives for critical thought by exploring the links between consumer culture and the post-truth politics of Trumpism, and how Trump embodies the frightening potential of capitalism to intersect with and enable fascistic forms of power.
