It has become an increasingly common suggestion that we are currently living in a ‘post-truth’ world, where compelling storytelling has usurped the place of empirical facts in determining our shared social reality. The impression of reality becoming endlessly mutable by storytelling is bolstered by the idea of narratives as mediators of human experience, developed across humanities and social sciences, becoming part of a popularized post-truth discourse. In this discourse, stories are viewed as tools for constructing the world, and attributed power to create their own truths. I argue that the challenge for meaningful communication posed by this sentiment can be uniquely and effectively confronted in speculative storytelling, and especially currently enormously popular fantasy fiction. By creating thought experiments in conspicuously fabricated settings, fantasy stories highlight storytelling as a means for coming to terms with different realities – and provide their audiences with tools for critically examining and challenging the post-truth discourse.

“…The post-truth society has been posited as a new phenomenon (Laybats and Tredinnick 2016). The framing adopted in this study is founded on contemporary contexts for trustworthiness and trust, and recognises the importance of public communication and the need for decision-making to occur within a dynamic, complex space of negotiation, debate and conflict (Cox 2012).…”

“…SLO has been defined as broad public acceptance of a company or industry's development activities and is linked to public trust and confidence in their ability to 'do the right thing' (Morrison 2014, Parsons et al 2014. This re-emergence of the value of building trust is particularly important in what some term a post-truth era, which is characterised by populist appeals to emotion and the proliferation of information and misinformation (Laybats and Tredinnick 2016). Post-truth is claimed to significantly damage the foundations of trust that are required in a robust society (Keyes 2004) and points to a need to re-examine the issues of trust and public-private engagement.…”

This research examines trust at the government, industry, community nexus, as mediated by media, and its effect on social licence. We attempted to understand levels and importance of trust in New Zealand's natural resource sectors by examining ways of building, maintaining and assessing public trust in a post-truth society. We surveyed 128 New Zealand public and held a stakeholder forum about perceptions of trust in relation to natural resource sectors. The results provide indications of novel advances around trust and trustworthiness. Honesty was highlighted as the top influencer of trustworthiness and trust, and dishonesty as the top influencer of distrust. In contrast to other literature, we find a nuanced understanding of trust among respondents in relation to the mediarespondents distrusted actors cited in media more than the media outlet or platform itself. Further, our findings suggest there is no discernible change in trust levels in the post-truth era, in this context.

“…Fleksibilitas dan fraksinasi yang ditawarkan oleh media sosial telah memungkinkan orang untuk memilih ruang gema karena sebagian besar informasi tersedia -sesuai dengan sikap yang sudah ada sebelumnya. Salah satu konsekuensi dari paparan media sosial tersebut lebih pada pembentukan kepercayaan yang tidak akurat; bahkan ketika bukti yang relevan dipahami dengan benar (Garrett, Weeks, dan Neo, 2016;Laybats dan Tredinnick, 2016). Dengan demikian, komunitas atau anggota dalam media sosial akan melakukan validasi diri dalam gelembung-gelembung udaranya sendiri.…”

Today, positivistic in the political sphere has been invaded by the notion of relativism. The post-truth regime bursts into political discourse and public awareness. Community opinion is driven in distrust of objective data. Reality manipulation is increasingly being carried out for political purposes. In this condition, the community is more secure with pseudo-facts that match personal beliefs. The discourse of political lies is then packaged into alternative discourses to match objective facts. The development of massive information technology, through online media, helps the distribution of discourse in the community. Public awareness through opinion is built and new facts are created. This is how Indonesian political contestation in 2019 is full of strange discourses without data. Political recitals are chaotic because of the disparity among factions that spread lies, hatred, and nonsense. Community elements are exploited for the sake of discourse battle victory. Like passive objects that are annihilated, people are made slaves to win the political elite.
