Popular culture; Consumerism; Political geography

"This radical and experimental book advances a new approach to understanding spectacle, one that helps us better understand how consumer culture paved the way for the post-truth politics of Donald Trump.

This book examines an element of Trumpism that has received little attention: the role of consumer culture. By drawing on theories of consumerist ""spectacle"", this book illuminates how Trump embodies the frightening potential of capitalist consumerism to intersect with and enable fascistic forms of power and influence. It re-affirms the importance of 'spectacle' as a key concept for geographic thought, whilst advancing new perspectives on what spectacle is and how it works."

Reviews for Spectacle and Trumpism: An Embodied Assemblage Approach

"""Thirty years ago, Félix Guattari likened Trump to an algal bloom, crowding out other lifeforms across entire city districts. Miller examines our predicament as this process assumes global proportions..."" David Clarke, Swansea University ""From his golden aesthetic to his Covid-19 press conference performances and his iconic MAGA hats, Trump and Trumpism are only understandable via the lens of optics and spectacle. Jacob Miller offers us key contemporary insights both into Trump, and also into spectacle itself."" Jason Dittmer, University College London ""Offers a theoretically-sophisticated critique of identity politics, consumer culture, and the geographies of spectacle in Trump's America. In a world saturated by punitive and pleasurable spectacle alike, it is needed now more than ever."" Natalie Koch, Syracuse University"
