Une analyse de la vérité dans les discours politiques et médiatiques depuis l'élection de Donald Trump à la présidence des Etats-Unis. L'auteur met en évidence la banalisation de la pratique du mensonge politique, des contre-vérités, du relativisme, de l'auto-fiction ou encore de la déconstruction philosophique. Il plaide en faveur de la vérité à travers l'établissement des faits, entre autres. ©Electre 2025
Francois Noudelmann, who has been teaching in American universities for twenty-five years, is struck by the new practice of lying in politics, and particularly since the election of Donald Trump in 2016. Untruths are disseminated os « alternative facts » : to each his own interpretation. We've entered the era of posttruths, opening the door to fake news and the crudest manipulations.
The aim of this essay is to retrace the path that has led to this relativism over the last forty years : the reign of storytelling, the empire of emotion, identity politics, victim ideology, cancel culture, philosophical deconstruction, autofiction and exofiction, the virtualization of the world by artificial intelligence... have all demolished Western reason.
To save the truth and the positivity of facts, Francois Noudelmann explores in this essay other particularly instructive and innovative avenues, such as indignation in the face of lies, and the alliance of doubt and revolt, which allow us to still believe in a common language.
Voix libres
Because each thought is singular in its timbre, accent and rhythm, even if it is in dialogue with others, Voix libres welcomes essays that assume their discrepancy. Writing freely, without following the canons of conformity, inventing as yet unidentified theoretical objects, overturning the gregarious obviousness of the age - that's what free voices are all about, in every language.
