But we are also living in a time when \"fake news\" and \"alternative facts\" call into question the very nature of truth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis troubling paradox is at the heart of this compelling book. The convergence of #MeToo and the crisis of post-truth is used to explore the experiences of women and people of color whose claims around issues of sexual violence are often held in doubt. Banet-Weiser and Higgins investigate how the gendered and racialized logics of \"believability\" are defined and contested within media culture, proposing that a mediated \"economy of believability\" is the context in which public bids for truth about sexual violence are made, negotiated, and authorized today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Banet-Weiser\u003c\/b\u003e is a joint Annenberg Professor at the Annenberg Schools for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Southern California, and is the Director of the Annenberg Center for Collaborative Communication.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eKathryn Claire Higgins\u003c\/b\u003e is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.6 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 26, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51776359792928,"sku":"9781509553815","price":100.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/eae2fa1ea425417eb5030763d9601b7c.webp?v=1780478073","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/believability-sexual-violence-media-and-the-politics-of-doubt-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
