Project description
Accounting has the potential to not only record events, but also shape how they are constructed and interpreted by the human subject. Within the notion of a ‘post-truth’ society, accounts are now frequently (and rightly) being questioned, and in some instances, alternative accounts of the same object are also being constructed and presented, in order to establish counter narratives and disrupt otherwise hegemonic regimes of accounting and accountability.
