ABSTRACT

Advancing theorizations of communication in post-truth politics, where computational/big data or cognitive bias approaches often dominate the description of and proposed solutions to the problem, this article aims to theorize the cultural production of social trust, which underpins public truth-making. It argues that performing mediated trust is preconditional to public truth-making (oft-overlooked in post-truth accounts). Advocating that a more detailed theory of post-truth political performances requires amalgamating intra- and interdisciplinary resources and broadening perspectives, it unites insights from social trust theory, reality television (RTV) studies, gender studies, and political communication. It identifies and critiques an aggressive emotional and a palpably toxic (especially white) masculinist logic in a popular strand of post-truth political performance. This conjuncturally specific, traditionally aggressive masculinist post-truth political communication is best understood as a transposable style, set of practices, and disposition toward them – a cultural logic called “aggro-truth.” Aggro-truth thus moves beyond the general concept and label of post-truth by a. showing that it has a particular, widely circulating, sub-form with its own particular cultural logic for operationalizing mediated trust in post-truth tellers (such as Donald Trump); and b. demonstrating how that logic works by focusing on Trump, while noting broad evidence of transnational variations for further research.

Aggro-truth:(不)信任、有毒的男子气概和后真相政治的文化逻辑

摘要

推进后真相政治中的传播理论化,其中计算/大数据或认知偏见方法通常主导问题的描述和提出的解决方案,本文旨在将社会信任的文化生产理论化,社会信任是公共真相制定的基础。它认为,执行中介信任是公开真相的先决条件(在后真相叙述中经常被忽视)。主张更详细的后真相政治表演理论需要融合学科内和跨学科资源并拓宽视野,它结合了社会信任理论、真人秀 (RTV) 研究、性别研究和政治传播的见解。它识别并批评了流行的后真相政治表演中的侵略性情绪和明显有毒(尤其是白人)的男性主义逻辑。这种特定的、传统上具有侵略性的男性主义后真相政治传播最好被理解为一种可转换的风格、一套实践和对它们的倾向——一种被称为“aggro-truth”的文化逻辑。因此,Aggro-truth 超越了后真相的一般概念和标签 a. 表明它有一种特殊的、广泛传播的、具有自己特殊文化逻辑的子形式,用于在后真相讲述者(例如唐纳德特朗普)中实施中介信任;和 b. 通过关注特朗普来展示这种逻辑是如何运作的,同时注意到跨国差异的广泛证据以供进一步研究。传统上激进的男性主义后真相政治传播最好被理解为一种可转换的风格、一套实践和对它们的倾向——一种被称为“aggro-truth”的文化逻辑。因此,Aggro-truth 超越了后真相的一般概念和标签 a. 表明它有一种特殊的、广泛流传的、具有自己特殊文化逻辑的子形式,用于在后真相讲述者(例如唐纳德特朗普)中实施中介信任;和 b. 通过关注特朗普来展示这种逻辑是如何运作的,同时注意到跨国差异的广泛证据以供进一步研究。传统上激进的男性主义后真相政治传播最好被理解为一种可转换的风格、一套实践和对它们的倾向——一种被称为“aggro-truth”的文化逻辑。因此,Aggro-truth 超越了后真相的一般概念和标签 a. 表明它有一种特殊的、广泛传播的、具有自己特殊文化逻辑的子形式,用于在后真相讲述者(例如唐纳德特朗普)中实施中介信任;和 b. 通过关注特朗普来展示这种逻辑是如何运作的,同时注意到跨国差异的广泛证据以供进一步研究。因此,Aggro-truth 超越了后真相的一般概念和标签。表明它有一种特殊的、广泛流传的、具有自己特殊文化逻辑的子形式,用于在后真相讲述者(例如唐纳德特朗普)中实施中介信任;和 b. 通过关注特朗普来展示这种逻辑是如何运作的,同时注意到跨国差异的广泛证据以供进一步研究。因此,Aggro-truth 超越了后真相的一般概念和标签。表明它有一种特殊的、广泛流传的、具有自己特殊文化逻辑的子形式,用于在后真相讲述者(例如唐纳德特朗普)中实施中介信任;和 b. 通过关注特朗普来展示这种逻辑是如何运作的,同时注意到跨国差异的广泛证据以供进一步研究。
