Klappentext
This volume engages with Edward Snowden's (hacker name "Verax") and Julian Assange's ("Mendax") controversial images as whistleblowers in film and media through a reading of Slavoj Zizek's notion of ideology as cynical distance. Although this book mostly deals with whistleblowing in fiction and documentary films, it also takes into account the rise of social media, as well as the changes taking place in today's capitalist system. In engaging with a reading of whistleblowing through ideology critique, we can perhaps cast a new light on the state of media and whistleblowing today. Dr. Sasa Miletic studied theater, film and media studies in Vienna. His work focuses on Hollywood cinema as well as media and critical theory.
