Demokratia, relativismi ja totuuden jälkeinen aika
2020
Totuuden jälkeisenä aikana kuunnellaan enemmän mielipidejohtajia kuin asiantuntijoita. Näyttää kuin totuus ja tieto olisivat vaarassa. Totuuden jälkeinen aika vaatii filosofista analyysiä. Tässä ovat vastakkain realistit ja relativistit. Antirelativistit näkevät relativismia korostavan postmodernismin olevan jopa osasyyllinen totuuden jälkeiseen aikaan. Paitsi että väite on historiallisesti virheellinen, se osoittaa puutteellista ymmärrystä pluralismista. Pluralismia ei voi selittää sillä, että monet ovat väärässä, vaan sillä, että monet ovat erimielisiä hyvillä perusteilla. Näin ajatellaan esimerkiksi näkökulmarelativismissa, joka korostaa totuuden ja tiedon riippuvuutta näkökulmista. Kun …

2021
Vaccaro analyzes the philosophical-political status of the category "Post-Truth", from Arendt to Foucault, and opposes to it the concept of Parrhesia with its political radicality.
Post-veracità. Estetiche della politica, retoriche del quotidiano, stili di vita
2020
A strange obsession for truth seems to define the present time: injunction to truth-telling, call to being authentic, fear of the fake are some of the features characterizing practices and rethorics of our living together. The realm of politics appears to be a privileged ground to this end, being able to grasp the symptoms diffused in the everyday life and configure them into steady models of behaviour through the effectiveness of its (self)representations. This paper aims to address the rhetoric pervasiveness of the concept of truth by inquiring the semantic field deployed by neologism “truthiness” and its Italian translation “veracità”, tentatively defined as a “natural” truth that presen…

Evolution of strategy narration and leadership work in the digital era
2019
This paper examines the evolution of strategy narration, contributing to ongoing discussions in this field. Our empirical data, gathered from a large Finnish co-operative bank, cover three decades. According to our findings, digitalisation has brought about an epoch change in strategy narration, as top management has strongly adopted digital media in their leadership work, which has replaced ‘traditional’ face-to-face strategy meetings and public presentations by gatherings on digital platforms, including webcasting, intranet and Skype. This has brought about a leadership vacuum, and left organisational members long for their superiors to ‘exercise’ some traditional leadership practices, su…
Verità ed evidenza: radici di un’etica fenomenologica
2020
The paper discusses the problem of the relationship between ethics and truth starting from a critique of the contemporary paradigm of post-truth. The opposition between objectivity and subjectivism that is the basis of this paradigm is questioned by inserting the medium term of objectivity as fairness. The truth is thus recovered as an exceding dimension that can never be completely owned. To illustrate this point, I therefore resort to the phenomenological theory of evidence, retracing its development in Edmund Husserl’s texts from the Sixth Logical Research to Formal and Transcendental Logic to the Cartesian Meditations. Thereby, it becomes gradually clear how the evidence is connected to…

Engineering victory and defeat: the role of social bots on Twitter during the French PresidentialElections
2018
International audience; The electoral campaigns of both Trump and Macron took place in a climate marked by accusations of “fake news”, manipulation of social media and personal attacks. Previous research has even shown that the same automated Twitter accounts were used to spread rumours to discredit both Hillary Clinton and later Emmanuel Macron, notably during the “Macron Leaks” scandal (Ferrara, 2017), which has led to accusations of orchestrated foreign infiltration in at least the French presidential campaign. Although it is difficult to distinguish (legitimate) foreign discussions of (rumours related to) French presidential candidates on Twitter on the one hand and intentional meddling…
Foucault, posverdad y parresia
2019
In this paper, Vaccaro aims to interrogate the political value of truth. Moving from Hannah Arendt and the debate between modernity and postmodernity, the paper focus the Will to truth according the elaboration of Nietzsche, but also the first Collège de France course by Foucault in the ’70s. The thesis is a etho-politics of telling the truth, that to say the parrhesia, as an antidote either to the nihilation of truth in the post-truth, or to the enforcement of truth as the One in politics.
La forja de la posverdad en el discurso nacional-sindicalista: «Y» (1938-1945)
2018
In «Y» (1938-1945), the Women’s Section aims to contribute to the implementation of the values of Francoism, influencing the ideas and behaviour of Spanish women through the creation of a post-truth, which legitimizes and ensures the survival of power elites. In this paper, adopting the theoretical perspective of argumentative-persuasive discourse analysis, I will demonstrate how the national- syndicalist discourse creates its post-truth, through some “extra dictione” fallacies, based essentially on two macro-strategies: the negation of reality, and equally, the construction of a positive reality. En «Y» (1938-1945), la Sección femenina pretende coadyuvar la afirmación de los valores del fr…
