Abstract

The rise of authoritarian and nationalist forces is currently accompanied by a change in the way public opinion is formed and in the culture of debate, a phenomenon that has been described as a crisis of facticity. There is an urgent need to clarify the (factual) foundations and benchmarks for democratic negotiation, even if lies are nothing new in politics. The article analyses this shift and discusses to what extent the liberal problematization of post-factual politics is becoming a way of coping with the neoliberal crisis of hegemony. Finally, it seeks to illuminate what these developments mean for those strands of critical social science dedicated to exploring the connection between truth and power and deconstructing truth claims.

后真相:民主与公共领域的未来

威权主义和民族主义力量的崛起目前伴随着舆论形成方式和辩论文化的变化，这种现象被描述为一种真实性危机。现在迫切需要澄清民主谈判的(事实)基础和基准，即使谎言在政治中并不新鲜。本文分析了这种转变，并讨论了后事实政治的自由主义问题化在多大程度上成为应对新自由主义霸权危机的一种方式。最后，它试图阐明这些发展对于那些致力于探索真理与权力之间联系并解构真理主张的批判性社会科学的意义。

期刊介绍： Theory, Culture & Society is a highly ranked, high impact factor, rigorously peer reviewed journal that publishes original research and review articles in the social and cultural sciences. Launched in 1982 to cater for the resurgence of interest in culture within contemporary social science, Theory, Culture & Society provides a forum for articles which theorize the relationship between culture and society. Theory, Culture & Society is at the cutting edge of recent developments in social and cultural theory. The journal has helped to break down some of the disciplinary barriers between the humanities and the social sciences by opening up a wide range of new questions in cultural theory.
