Lies have a history filled with possibilities. For this reason, we should not limit ourselves to the simple opposition between truth and lies, as if there were no subtle (and apparently paradoxical) modalities, such as the truth of lies and the lies of truth. In this history, the relationship between lies and politics has always been extremely important. We do not even have to evoke machiavellianism to understand that the bond between one and the other has an almost consubstantial nature. In our time, marked by the communication and dissemination of mass messages in a horizontal, rhizomatic public space, lies have entered a new regime, of which fake news is the extreme example. The notion of ‘post-truth’ (considered word of the year in 2016 by the Oxford Dictionary) emerged as a strange designation, which many thought was simply a new name for an old reality. But it is something else: post-truth is beyond true and false, dissolving the difference between these two poles. Therefore, it cannot be nullified by a rebuttal. This dossier of Electra does not only address these issues, however. It also examines other obligatory topics, such as art, fiction, delirium, and the powers of technology.
