However, we are also living in a time when \"fake news\" and \"alternative facts\" call into question the very nature of truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis troubling paradox is at the heart of the compelling book, \u003cem\u003eBelievability\u003c\/em\u003e. The convergence of #MeToo and the crisis of post-truth is used to explore the experiences of women and people of colour whose claims around issues of sexual violence are often held in doubt. Banet-Weiser and Higgins investigate how the gendered and racialised logics of \"believability\" are defined and contested within media culture. They propose that a mediated \"economy of believability\" is the context in which public bids for truth about sexual violence are made, negotiated, and authorised today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430126043372,"sku":"9781509553822","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509553822.jpg?v=1774559693"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sarah-banet-weiser.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
