Post–truth

 

Introduction:

The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression chosen to reflect the passing year in language.

 Post-truth has been nominated as the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2016 and is an adjective defined as ‘relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’. 

[ref: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/word-of-the-year/word-of-the-year...]

 

Other words which were shortlisted were,

‘adulting noun, informal

The practice of behaving in a way characteristic of a responsible adult, especially the accomplishment of mundane but necessary tasks.’,

‘alt-right noun

An ideological grouping associated with extreme conservative or reactionary viewpoints, characterized by a rejection of mainstream politics and by the use of online media to disseminate deliberately controversial content.’,

‘Brexiteer noun, informal

A person who is in favour of the United Kingdom withdrawing from the European Union.’,

‘coulrophobia noun Extreme or irrational fear of clowns’,

‘glass  cliff noun

Used with reference to a situation in which a woman or member of a minority group ascends to a leadership position in challenging circumstances where the risk of failure is high.’

‘woke adjective, US informal

[originally in African-American usage] Alert to injustice in society, especially racism.’

Project Brief:

It is clear that this selection of words represent a certain mood within society both within Europe and America, and is a representation of the increased sense of unease in the world. 

The question for this Mail-Art project is what does the word ‘Post-truth’ represent? 

Answers on a post-card please to this address:

The Smallprint Company

My name is Karen Milszeski, I was a volunteer at Gallery 325 which was in the house of Marilyn Dammann ( Shadow Works). The gallery closed this year and a great deal of the mail art she had received is being cataloged at the Calumet Art Center up in the Keweenaw peninsula. The director of the center Ed Gray was a dear friend of Marilyn's. After we get the mail art cataloged we will have a monthly show of the mail art that she received either by artist or by the calls for art. We were wondering if anyone out there has any of Marilyn's mail art that she created to be added to what we have. Your response would be appreciated. Message me on Facebook or email sidnawbooks@yahoo.com. Check out The Calumet art Center on Facebook or web page. Thanks for your time. Karen
