The ideological framework that Colberg terms ‘neoliberal realism’ serves to cement an economic system whose many fault lines are becoming increasingly clear, such as staggering inequality and racial disparities. This extended essay provides an alternative reading of photographic works laden with artifice, and argues how focusing on this artifice misses the more far-reaching ways such images operate in our visual economy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDISCOURSE is a series of small books in which a cultural theorist, curator or artist explores a theme, an artwork or an idea in an extended illustrated text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by MACK Books\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e40 pages\u003cbr\u003e125 x 195 mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781913620165\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACK Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37614849917117,"sku":"PNRJC01","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/products\/photographys_neoliberal_realism.jpg?v=1607126086","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/no\/products\/photographys-neoliberal-realism-jorg-colberg","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
