"post-truth", news, AnthropologyAbstract
In my opinion, Gustavo's diagnosis of our situation is very timely. Perhaps the voices of professional anthropologists are a bit more prominent in the world of "expert knowledge" linked to multilateral and international organizations and to advisory committees of governmental and non-governmental organizations, but in general I think we have to accept what he says about the weakness of our current professional public profile and our apparent inability to produce analyses of the "great challenges" of our time that manage to attract the interest of the general public and gain political weight.
