Conference | Authentic Myths, Fabricated Truths and The Ordering of Society


Brexit and the election of Donald Trump are events propelled by the widespread use of misinformation, ... more >> and manipulation of truths and facts. Though these events might appear novel and unprecedented, signaled by terms like “Post-Truth,” the distortion and fabrication of truths and trustworthiness to order and construct society are not a new phenomena. Fallacies, “fake news”, fabricated realities, and delusions have been historically recurrent in the ordering of society, classification of social categories, and management of behaviors, customs, and identities. Religious superstitions and dogmas prevented scientific inquiry into the nature of the universe; Darwinist theories justified racism; scientific claims about HIV being “gay-cancer”; Conspiracy theories were instrumental to legitimize violence against Jews during the Dreyfus Affair; ancient myths confirmed the historical claims of nations to territories and subsequent ethnic-cleansing; false intelligence reports legitimated the invasion of Iraq; and fraudulent credit ratings stimulated market expansion and collapse. What drives the construction of such realities? How are “regimes of truth” legitimated? Who has the social authority to establish, claim knowledge of, and distort “facts” and “truths”? And how do these falsehoods, constructions, and regimes impact our social world? Answers to these fundamental questions are not definitive, but Sociology offers multiple lenses and epistemological approaches for the critical examination and exploration of these questions. Keynote Speaker: Prof. Steve Fuller (University of Warwick) talking about sociology as a post-truth science Opening speaker: Prof. Jonathan S. Simon (UC Berkeley) who will be speaking about mass incarceration from a criminal law perspective.
