Book Description

The most unusual feature of Donald Trump's nationalist and populist campaign for the presidency of the USA was his obsessive use of Twitter. Like other social media, this form of communication has often been assumed to encourage the dissemination of liberal values and the circulation of facts. Trump's tweets, by contrast, formed a constant stream of provocations, insults, conspiracy theories, 'alternative facts' and outright lies. And they helped him win power. Peter Oborne, author of The Rise of Political Lying and Not The Chilcot Report, analyses Trump's incendiary mendacity in all its bewildering guises, and shows how this fusion of entertainment and cunningly crafted propaganda has destabilized the world's most powerful democracy.

Book Description

'Trolls for Trump', virtual rape, fake news - social media discourse, including forms of virtual and real violence, has become a formidable, yet elusive, political force. What characterizes online vitriol? How do we understand the narratives generated, and also address their real-world - even life-and-death - impact? How can hatred, bullying, and dehumanization on social media platforms be addressed and countered in a post-truth world? This book unpicks discourses, metaphors, media dynamics, and framing on social media, to begin to answer these questions. Written for and by cultural and media studies scholars, journalists, political philosophers, digital communication professionals, activists and advocates, this book makes the connections between theoretical approaches from cultural and media studies and practical challenges and experiences 'from the field', providing insight into a rough media landscape.

Book Description

Narcissist President. Conservative Vice President. Foreign Officials. Stolen Documents. Winning The Ultimate Prize."FISHBOWL 45 - The Unpresidented Parody" is the All-American allegory for the Trump/Pence administration. Used car salesman Donald J. Fish, President and CEO of Fishbowl Motors in Queens N.Y. in 1993, and his evangelical VP Mike Buck, collude with foreign officials, shipping stolen cars overseas, to cover a do-or-die bet on the Buffalo Bills to win the Super Bowl. Donnie Fish, a smooth-talking, former corporate raider with a penchant for high-stakes action, and his ultra-right-wing conservative VP Mike, ride high and sink low, going from Wall Street to the mean streets in the aftermath of the Savings & Loan crisis that rocked the nation and led to the worst recession since the Great Depression. Fish and Buck will do anything to get to the top, because it's not if you win or lose...it's if you win! The first book by father/son duo Richard R. Barbour and Joseph R. Barbour, "FISHBOWL 45" portrays Donald Trump and Mike Pence as used car dealers, in this scathing new parody of Trump's America, and the obsession with money, glory and winning at all costs. Exposing the dark greed and thirst for power at the heart of the American dream, "FISHBOWL 45" lays bare the attitudes that brought the US economy to the brink and illustrates the fear found inside a desperate criminal conspiracy. Based on their stage play of the same name, Richard R. Barbour and Joseph R. Barbour proudly present the novel "FISHBOWL 45 - The Unpresidented Parody" and invite you to step inside the Fishbowl.

Book Description

While the COVID-19 pandemic overshadowed all else and would quickly have a lasting impact on our daily lives, other events related to the radical right in 2020 soon surfaced. From terrorist attacks in Germany and India to anti-mask protests across the U.S. and Europe, radical right violence escalated in the midst of circulating conspiracy theories and disinformation. The yearbook draws upon insightful analyses from an international network of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who explore the dynamics and impact of the radical right. It explores a wide range of topics including reflections on authoritarianism and fascism, the role of ideology and (counter-)intellectuals, and radical-right responses to the pandemic and calls for police reform in the height of the Black Lives Matter protests. It ends with important assessments on best approaches towards countering the radical right, both online and offline. This timely overview provides a broad examination of the global radical right in 2020, which will be useful for scholars, students, policymakers, journalists, and the public.
