Title

Why Does Nobody Know Anything Anymore? In Complexity, Digital Media and Post Truth Politics

Summary

The book explores the concept of ‘post-truth’ politics, emphasizing its complexity and the challenges it poses to traditional epistemology, especially in the context of digital media. It examines how political knowledge is contested and destabilized through digital platforms, using specific cases like the Covington Catholic School controversy to illustrate these dynamics. The book situates these issues within broader media theory, including Baudrillard’s concept of hyperreality, and argues for the development of innovative conceptual approaches to address these challenges.
