I want to show what denialism seeks to prevent; the exposure of
dark desire. It is only when we look directly at this darkness that
we can truly grasp why it is so unspeakable.' The Holocaust never
happened. The planet isn't warming. Vaccines harm children. There
is no such thing as AIDS. The Earth is flat. Denialism comes in
many forms, often dressed in the garb of scholarship or research.
It's certainly insidious and pernicious. Climate change denialists
have built well-funded institutions and lobbying groups to counter
action against global warming. Holocaust deniers have harried
historians and abused survivors. AIDS denialists have prevented
treatment programmes in Africa. All this is bad enough, but what
if, as Keith Kahn-Harris asks, it actually cloaks much darker,
unspeakable, desires? If denialists could speak from the heart,
what would we hear? Kahn-Harris sets out not to unpick denialists'
arguments, but to investigate what lies behind them. The
conclusions he reaches are shocking and uncomfortable. In a world
of `fake news' and `post-truth', are the denialists about to secure
victory?
