Phonies (Paperback)
Print on DemandDa: CitiRetail, Stevenage, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What does it mean to call someone, something, or even an entire institution phony? The word belongs to everyday speech, muttered in private, shouted in protest, and scribbled in notebooks. Yet it cuts to the core of our deepest disappointments. To name phoniness is to expose the painful gap between what is said and what is meant, between the performance of sincerity and the reality of conviction.In this work, Phonies: Authenticity Performance Fakery offers the first sustained exploration of phoniness as a structural condition of human life. From the staged emotions of Hollywood blockbusters to the hollow rhetoric of election seasons, from fraudulent financial schemes to viral deepfakes, from greenwashed corporate pledges to the betrayals of intimacy, phoniness emerges not as a passing annoyance but as the shadow cast by human communication itself.The book moves across domains with narrative force: Literature and art, where style sometimes replaces substance. Politics, where spectacle can eclipse governance. Economics, where speculative bubbles mirror the illusion of value. Media and technology, where reality blurs with fabrication. Institutions, where rituals risk becoming self-parodies. Intimacy, where words of love may hollow into cliches. Drawing on real-world scandals, novels, films, and digital phenomena, the text builds toward this argument: all human expression is mediated; mediation creates the possibility of phoniness; therefore, phoniness is structural and unavoidable. Yet rather than resign us to cynicism, the book insists that authenticity remains indispensable. If phoniness shadows us, authenticity illuminates us, however fleetingly. Remedies (e.g., transparency, verification, reform) can never abolish phoniness but can restrain its excesses, preserving the fragile possibility of sincerity.Written in a narrative style accessible to scientists, social theorists, and general readers alike, this treatise unifies analytic clarity with cultural reflection. It situates phoniness not as a trivial insult but as a dilemma that touches politics, love, art, faith, and technology. At once rigorous and lyrical, Phonies speaks to our contemporary moment while reaching beyond it. It is a book for readers disillusioned by institutions yet still hungry for meaning; for those who have named phoniness in frustration but long for a deeper understanding; and for anyone who wonders whether authenticity remains possible in an age of spectacle.
