PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Joseph Masco is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Chicago and author of The Future of Fallout, and Other Episodes in Radioactive World-Making, also published by Duke University Press. Lisa Wedeen is Mary R. Morton Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and author of Authoritarian Apprehensions: Ideology, Judgment, and Mourning in Syria.
“In a time of increasing epistemic confusion, Joseph Masco and Lisa Weeden brilliantly complicate the usual distinction between fact-based rationality and conspiracy theory by analyzing the infiltration of official disinformation into the public sphere and by exploring the blurred line between paranoid thinking and critical theory. Their book is an innovative and crucial contribution to the understanding of the politics of uncertainty and suspicion in contemporary societies.” -- Didier Fassin, Professor at the Collège de France and the Institute for Advanced Study “This brilliant collection envisions conspiracy theories anew. It not only showcases distinct conspiracies across global sites and time periods, but also petitions readers to examine their own investments in conspiratorial thinking. Conspiracy/Theory is a dazzling provocation and an important intervention.” -- Elisabeth R. Anker, author of * Ugly Freedoms *
