This book engages with post-truth as a problem of societal order
and for scholarly analysis. It claims that post-truth discourse is
more deeply entangled with main Western imaginations of knowledge
societies than commonly recognised. Scholarly responses to
post-truth have not fully addressed these entanglements, treating
them either as something to be morally condemned or as accusations
against which scholars have to defend themselves (for having
somehow contributed to it). Aiming for wider problematisations, the
authors of this book use post-truth to open scholarly and societal
assumptions to critical scrutiny. Contributions are both conceptual
and empirical, dealing with topics such as: the role of truth in
public; deep penetrations of ICTs into main societal institutions;
the politics of time in neoliberalism; shifting boundaries between
fact - value, politics - science, nature - culture; and the
importance of critique for public truth-telling. Case studies range
from the politics of nuclear power and election meddling in the UK,
over smart technologies and techno-regulation in Europe, to
renewables in Australia. The book ends where the Corona story
begins: as intensifications of Modernity's complex dynamics,
requiring new starting points for critique.
