Description
Post-truth and Coronavirus is a terrible combination that has imposed unimaginable challenges to the whole of humanity and that will last through the third decade of the 21st century. Almost all the certainties we had about modernity in science, health, the media, democracy, institutions, elections, the truthfulness of facts, technology or progress have been shattered. Because of the pandemic and disinformation, the erratic and uncertain nature of a liquid reality is increasingly evident. The SARS-CoV-2 virus was joined and assimilated by the phenomenon of increased post-truth mainly due to the use of new technologies on digital platforms. This presentation aims to analyze, from the perspective of International Studies, how both post-truth and Covid-19 represent a challenge for the international order and how we can understand it from IR theories.
