Technologies of Truth: Cultural Citizenship and the Popular Media (Visible Evidence)

In a complex and media-saturated world, what is the value of truth? Author Toby Miller provides a pithy examination of how television, magazines, film, and museums influence the way our society conceptualizes such issues as citizenship, democracy, nationhood, globalization, truth, and fiction. With a style that is spicy, personal, and full of incident, Miller turns the ephemera of everyday life into an entertaining critique of our times.
