E. KellyMy usual first line of defence when accusations of ‘postmodernism’ are levelled at Foucault is pedantic: there is no philosophical ‘postmodernism’ (with the possible exception of Jean-François Lyotard’s thought), and no one who knows what they are talking about suggests Foucault is a “postmodernist.” He himself ultimately rejected any possibility of a “postmodern” period or attitude, averring instead that he was actually a partisan of the modern, Enlightenment critical attitude.0F1 I must admit though that this dodge is a little disingenuous on my part. After all, I am well aware what people mean when they invoke ‘postmodernism’ in relation to philosophy. They mean, effectively, a total relativism, one which holds that not only our values but all kinds of truth are historically relative. Foucault’s rejection of the label was made at a time when it was only inchoately applied, so he did not really rebut such accusations as they are made today.Item Open Access Tricks with Transference: Naming in a Post-Truth World(University of Canterbury, 2022) Warwick TieAs we watch conspiracy theories, disinformation, fake news and the like infuse public debate with a post-truth mix of innuendo, suspicion, and specious claims, it has become popular to lament an increasing inability of ideas to connect with reality. The issue is not, as Alenka Zupančič observes, that we have lost the Real (for this has never been the human’s to have) but that we are witnessing a loss of the “capacity of naming that can have real effects.”0F1 We are missing, to draw on Stuart Hall,1F2 a critical approach to naming that “grip[s] the minds of masses, and thereby becomes ‘a material force’” upon our moment. We are witnessing a loss of those words that “can affect the economy of being because they come from the workings of this economy”—a loss of words that are simultaneously of our situation and able to transform it.
