I15-R231-article-582020-09-11T14:16:52Z Veracity and disimulation Veracidad y disimulación Tatián, Diego actos de habla totalitarismo discurso mentira postverdad speech acts totalitarianism discourse lie post-truth The aim of the article is to interrogate about the efficacy of lies and of a set of neighboring speech acts, such as perjury, false accusation, slander, pretense, demagoguery, deceit, and negationism, which have lately acquired new power by virtue of the uncanny reach of the post-truth fictions with which the media and social networks construct the world (or replace it), and about the ways to resist such becomings. The theoretical thread chosen to answer these interrogations begins with the consideration, by Koyré (and Arendt) of the modern totalitarian lie, and then searches for a few classical motives in philosophy reviewing what becomes enunciated through “veracity” and “dissimulation”, for which the Kant-Constant controversy is taken into consideration. Finally, the motives for dissimulation are reviewed as a mode of resistance and self-protection against the powerful through 17th century texts that come from the “School of Prudence”, recovering a sense of resistance as “invention”, a dissimulation as an “art of obscurity”, as it was practiced by our women who were detained in clandestinity. El artículo se interroga por la eficacia de la mentira y por un conjunto de actos de habla aledaños a ella, como el perjurio, la difamación, la calumnia, la simulación, la adulación, la demagogia, el engaño, el negacionismo, que en la actualidad han multiplicado su potencia debido al descomunal alcance de las ficciones posverdaderas con las que medios de comunicación y redes sociales construyen el mundo –o lo sustituyen, y cómo resistirlos. El hilo teórico escogido para responder arranca con la consideración por parte de Koyré –y Arendt- de la moderna mentira totalitaria, para luego buscar algunos motivos clásicos en la filosofía revisando qué se enuncia mediante ‘veracidad’ y ‘disimulación’, para lo cual se considera la polémica Kant-Constant. Por último se repasa el motivo de la disimulación como modo de resistencia y autoprotección ante los poderosos a través de algunos textos del siglo XVII enmarcados en la escuela de la prudencia recuperando, al final, una resistencia como ‘invención’, una disimulación como ‘arte de la oscuridad’ tal y como fue practicada por nuestras mujeres detenidas en la clandestinidad.

| description |
The aim of the article is to interrogate about the efficacy of lies and of a set of neighboring speech acts, such as perjury, false accusation, slander, pretense, demagoguery, deceit, and negationism, which have lately acquired new power by virtue of the uncanny reach of the post-truth fictions with which the media and social networks construct the world (or replace it), and about the ways to resist such becomings. The theoretical thread chosen to answer these interrogations begins with the consideration, by Koyré (and Arendt) of the modern totalitarian lie, and then searches for a few classical motives in philosophy reviewing what becomes enunciated through “veracity” and “dissimulation”, for which the Kant-Constant controversy is taken into consideration. Finally, the motives for dissimulation are reviewed as a mode of resistance and self-protection against the powerful through 17th century texts that come from the “School of Prudence”, recovering a sense of resistance as “invention”, a dissimulation as an “art of obscurity”, as it was practiced by our women who were detained in clandestinity. |
