Zusammenfassung:How does art transform our understanding of realism in the post-truth era?Focuses on contemporary realism from the perspective of the artSituates artistic realism in the politics and philosophy of the post-truth era Defines the specificity of artistic realism from ontological, epistemological, political and mediatic perspectives Discusses a broad range of case studies dealing with climate change, the economy of surveillance, apocalypse narratives, sound ontology, Inuit realism and scientific imaging Challenges the dominance of speculative realism by engaging alternative theoretical genealogies of realismBrings together leading researchers from art history, aesthetics, media studies, literary studies and the visual artsArguing for the necessity of taking art's contribution to contemporary realism seriously, this edited collection intervenes on contemporary debates about realism by demonstrating that the arts do not simply illustrate philosophical theories. The significance of art's realism in times characterised by the normalisation of fake, manipulated and distorted representations of reality can only be fully understood by attending to the ways that the arts mediate, visualise and even shape reality. Each chapter features a different approach to realism and its aesthetic dimensions not only in the visual arts, but also in sound art, film, scientific imaging and literature
