Book Description
Scholars have recognized that fake news is not a phenomenon peculiar to the 21st century. While efforts for a more focused approach to fake news in the ancient world have been carried out in the field of Roman history, the phenomenon of fake news in ancient Greece has received limited attention. The contributions in this volume offer a selective approach to this phenomenon by applying media and cultural studies instruments to ancient texts. They pinpoint parallels and differences between ancient and modern fake news by employing methods of literary and cultural studies, as well as historical-documentary analysis of ancient sources. In particular, they explore questions such as: To what extent does reflection on the concepts of truth, lie, and opinion influence ancient Greek political-rhetorical discourse? What is the political or social function of embedding ‘misleading information’ in ancient Greek historiographical texts or pamphlets? Which intentions are pursued with the help of fake news in literary and documentary texts? Can parallels be drawn with modern approaches to fake news? Thus, the volume investigates the mechanisms that historically lay behind the creation, dissemination, and adaptation of ‘misleading information’.

Book Description
The concept of news that we have today is not a modern invention, but rather a social and cultural institution that has been passed down to us by the Greeks as a legacy. This concept is only modified by the social, political, and economic conditions that make our society different from theirs. In order to understand what was considered news in Ancient Greece, a lexical study of ἄγγελος and all of its derivatives attested in a representative corpus of the period spanning from the second millennium BC to the end of the fourth BC has been conducted. This piece of research provides new contributions both to studies in Classics (there are hardly any studies on the transmission of news in Antiquity) and in journalism. This study also reveals an interesting point: the presence of false news – similar to current fake news – in ancient Greek literature, especially in tragedy and historiography when it comes to the use of the derivatives of ἄγγελος.

Book Description
Politics, Lies and Conspiracy Theories: A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective shows how language influences mechanisms of cognition, perception, and belief, and by extension its power to manipulate thoughts and beliefs. This exciting and original work is the first to apply cognitive linguistics to the analysis of political lies and conspiracy theories, both of which have flourished in the internet age and which many argue are threatening democracy. It unravels the verbal mechanisms that make these "different truths" so effective and proliferative, dissecting the verbal structures (metaphor, irony, connotative implications, etc.) of a variety of real-life cases concerning politicians, conspiracy theorists, and influencers. Marcel Danesi goes on to demonstrate how these linguistic structures "switch on" or "switch off" alternative mind worlds. This book is essential reading for students of cognitive linguistics and will enrich the studies of any student or researcher in language and linguistics more broadly, as well as discourse analysis, rhetoric, or political science.

Book Description
¿Es posible que Nerón no incendiara Roma? ¿O que Livia no planeara el asesinato de todos los herederos al trono e incluso de su propio esposo? ¿Acaso los romanos no vomitaban durante las comidas? La historia está viva y cambia continuamente de mano en mano. Quien la escribe tiene el poder de viajar en el tiempo y cambiar el pasado, de alterarla interpretando lo sucedido desde su propio punto de vista. Así, muchas veces ocurre que la historia que nos han contado no se corresponde exactamente con la realidad. En este libro se desvelan las fake news del mundo romano: los engaños, bulos y mentiras que nos han contado sobre la historia de la antigua Roma. Aquellos que han creado, a veces incluso sin querer, los propios historiadores, los que se han formado por culpa del espeso velo que cubre la historia con el paso del tiempo, los que han quedado inmortalizados en películas, series y novelas e incluso los que los propios romanos generaron sobre ellos mismos. Desde la propaganda política de los emperadores, hasta la realidad sobre la gente corriente, olvidada en los bajos fondos de Roma, pasando por las mayores perjudicadas del mundo antiguo, las mujeres, que han sufrido el escarnio de una historia creada exclusivamente por y para los hombres. Todos ellos encontrarán ahora la verdad de sus historias ocultas.
