This collection rethinks the relationship between objectivity and fiction beyond the realism-nominalism divide through a series of 'objective fictions', such as fetishes, semblances, lies, rumours, sophistry, fantasies and conspiracy theories. The contributors include Slavoj Zizek, Mladen Dolar, Frank Ruda and Samo Tomsič.
