In mid-to-late 2016, an emerging narrative began to claim that we had entered a world in which truth no longer carried the weight and significance that it once did. This short episode presents a brief introduction to, and criticism of, the notion of post-truth. It serves as a useful background for the next three episodes, in which I interview three academics about various facets of post-truth.

Highlights

  • The mainstream take on post-truth
  • Problematizing the narrative
  • Critical takes
  • What now?
