Abstract

ABSTRACT Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election underscored the role of “Truth” and how it functions in an epistemological relationship with conservative identity. Drawing upon Cheryl Harris’s notion of “whiteness as property,” this article forwards a theoretical framework of “Truth as White property” whereby Truth functions as an extension of whiteness and as a possession of whiteness. Using Fox News’ treatment of the 1619 Project as a case study, the author argues that White ownership of Truth relies on the rhetorical strategies of discrediting, dismissing, and redirecting.

摘要唐纳德·特朗普2016年总统大选强调了“真理”的作用，以及它如何在与保守身份的认识论关系中发挥作用。本文借鉴Cheryl Harris的“白人即财产”概念，提出了“真理即白人财产”的理论框架，即真理是白人的延伸和对白人的占有。作者以福克斯新闻对1619年计划的处理为例，认为白人对真相的所有权依赖于抹黑、驳回和重定向的修辞策略。
