Truth or Post-truth? Let’s Go Credibility
40th Käte Hamburger Lecture
The quest for scientific standards now operates against the background of debates on 'fake news' and ‘post-truth’, which raise pressing and perplexing questions for critical lines of thought. Starting from debates in International Relations and Critical Security Studies, this lecture proposes an approach that, instead of looking for rigorous scientific standards for validating truth claims, conceptualizes validity as practices of assembling credibility. Such an approach allows for understanding validity as a socio-political rather than strictly scientific accomplishment. The assembling of credibility combines the transversal formation and circulation of credits and credentials with disputes over credence and credulity. Developing such an understanding of validity makes it possible to displace epistemic disputes about ‘(post-)truth’ with critical analyses of transversal practices of knowledge creation, circulation, and accreditation.
