Sarah Banet-Weiser & Kathryn Claire Higgins 
Believability [EPUB ebook] 
Sexual Violence, Media, and the Politics of Doubt

Apoio

The #Me Too movement created more opportunities for women to speak up about sexual assault. But we are also living in a time when ‘fake news’ and ‘alternative facts’ call into question the very nature of truth.
This troubling paradox is at the heart of this compelling book. The convergence of #Me Too 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.
