SUMMARY:Paranoid Publics: Psychopolitics of Truth
DESCRIPTION:Facts and established truths are regularly denied in contemporary life. This situation has brought paranoid politics into the mainstream\, from conspiracy theories like QAnon\, to sex panics and assaults on public health measures\, to election denialism and the rise of vigilante militias. Paranoid Publics analyzes these phenomena as psychosocial realities enmeshed with emerging ways of determining truth. Today’s paranoia cannot simply be blamed on the rise of social media or the recent surge of populist anger. Rather\, as Chaudhary shows\, both are fueled by preexisting psychosocial processes. Applying psychodynamics to analyze truth and politics\, Paranoid Publics foregrounds unconscious demands\, wishes\, and compulsions. Against the hope that progressive economic policies might dispel widespread disorientation and disillusionment\, Chaudhary reveals how psychic realities mark politics as deeply as do self-interest and class dynamics. Making a case for psychosocial understandings of our current historical juncture\, Paranoid Publics radically expands our notion of the political.
