The regime of ‘post-truth': COVID-19 and the politics of knowledge

The emergence of ‘post-truth' is often associated with the rise of conspiracy theories and the lack of trust in scientific knowledge. This article attempts to theorise the complex division of labour in this regime of ‘post-truth', with reference to the COVID-19 pandemic/infodemic. First, we argue that the ‘post-truth' condition mirrors what Foucault called the ‘will to truth', and that this challenges the procedures and systems by which truth and knowledge are ordered. Second, through Basil Bernstein's extension of Foucault's work, we argue that the era of post-truth has two features regarding the condition of knowledge: (1) that conflicts in the field of knowledge recontextualisation, that is, the pedagogisation of knowledge, are becoming more intense and visible, and (2) that greater exposure to high-stakes, uncertain scientific knowledge, which grows at exponential rate, increases social anxieties and leads to biopoliticisation of neoliberal responsibilisation.

A formação e o trabalho docente, as tecnologias móveis e a UNESCO

Neste artigo, investiga-se como a formação e o trabalho docente são tratados nas proposições da UNESCO sobre tecnologias e aprendizagens móveis. Discorre-se sobre alguns documentos publicados durante a pandemia de Covid-19, porém o foco das análises se dá em documentos elaborados em 2012 e 2014. A investigação apoia-se teoricamente na noção de governamentalidade de Michel Foucault e nas discussões de Stephen Ball relacionadas a essa mesma noção no contexto do neoliberalismo contemporâneo. Analiticamente, descreve-se como a UNESCO propõe as tecnologias e as aprendizagens móveis como importantes ferramentas para transformar a educação, defendendo sua utilização na formação e no trabalho docentes, especialmente em países pobres e em desenvolvimento. A seguir, problematiza-se quem financia os documentos analisados, quais são os possíveis interesses dos financiadores e as questões de mercado as quais tal financiamento pode estar relacionado. Conclui-se apontando as proposições descritas como parte de mecanismos de controle da conduta a favor e fazendo parte de mentalidades contemporâneas pautadas no neoliberalismo de mercado.Alternate : In this article, it investigates how training and teaching work are treated in UNESCO's proposals on mobile technology and learning. Some documents published during the Covid-19 pandemic are discussed, but the focus of the analysis is on documents prepared in 2012 and 2014. The research draws theoretically on Michel Foucault's notion of governmentality and Stephen Ball's discussions related to this notion in the context of contemporary neoliberalism. Analytically, it describes how UNESCO proposes mobile technology and mobile learning as important tools to transform education, advocating their use in teacher training and work, especially in poor and developing countries. Next, we discuss who finances the documents analyzed, what are the possible interests of the financiers and the market issues to which such financing may be related. It concludes by pointing out the proposals described as part of conduct control mechanisms in favor and being part of contemporary mentalities based on market neoliberalism.Alternate : En este artículo, se investiga cómo se abordan la formación y el trabajo docente en las propuestas de la UNESCO sobre tecnología móvil y aprendizaje móvil.

POLITICAL CRIME PARADIGM IN LEGAL PERSPECTIVE IN INDONESIA (PHILOSOPHICAL JURIDICAL STUDIES IN THE VIEWPOINT OF MICHEL FOUCALT)

Politics is defined as a space to express aspirations, political manifestations are described as perfect crimes or political crimes that provide space to maintain continuous power relations. Indonesia has experienced political crimes in the New Order period, this study aims to explain political crimes from a legal perspective in Indonesia. The research method is qualitative with a juridical-philosophical approach and the source of information is validated by data triangulation techniques. The results of the study explain that political crimes in Indonesia are post-criminal and make the proposition of Pancasila to maintain continuous power so that the authoritarian regime is difficult to collapse, with Michel Foucault's model providing the possibility to normalize positivism to undermine the power and provide legal certainty for politics.
