Description

Creating Chaos Online: Disinformation and Subverted Post-Publics Asta Zelenkauskaite explores how disinformation is used to manipulate public discourse, distorting democratic processes. She reveals the orchestrated efforts behind messaging across various media platforms and sociopolitical contexts. The book introduces the concept of post-publics, which reflects the treatment of public, counterpublic, and anti-public in a world where authentic and orchestrated content blur together. Zelenkauskaite argues that affect-instilled arguments and whataboutism are key tactics used to create chaos online. This thought-provoking analysis sheds light on the challenges of navigating uncertain information landscapes, where human and nonhuman actors intersect.
