dc.description.abstract	It seems that most academics take issue with post-truth because it appeals to the masses through style, not substance. This demise of truth places research in danger, because verifiable and correspondence notions of truth are meant to be absolutely crucial for its objectivity and its continued survival. If post-truth really is so radical a departure, then, we would be on the brink of an utterly new—and possibly painful—set of discourses that threaten to force us to describe the world as one rather large celebrity, not as an intra-dependent entity with its own integrity.	en
