Abstract

VALVERDE, Mariana. Today's Jargon of Authenticity: Using Adorno and Foucault to Understand Certain Aspects of Right-Wing Populism. Eidos [online]. 2019, n.31, pp.280-305. ISSN 1692-8857.

The debates among journalists, intellectuals and activist about truth, "post-truth" and the forms of political subjectivity have not properly used the abundant resources provided by the extensive struggles of European philosophy with these issues. This article attempts to show that the hardly known polemic of Theodor Adorno against the philosophical and popular forms of the existentialist discourse in post-war Germany-the sarcastic book entitled The jargon of authenticity-contains resources that might be used to go beyond the old journalistic binary "real facts" vs. "false news".

Keywords : Adorno; Foucault; truth; post-truth; existentialist discourse; post-war.
