Abstract

The study aims to go to beyond the discourse of post-truth: some reflections on the idea of fake news based on corpus linguistics (an educational analysis). Seeking to illustrate how we deceive ourselves by attempting to understand fake news through the notion of a post-truth society. We argue that both the concepts of fake news and post-truth are not an aberration to the history of media practices, neither are they of contemporary origins. They are an intricate part of the discursive practices in which media as an institution engages. The article builds on Foucault’s approach to discursive practices and applies a meta-discursive framework to trace the genealogy of post-truth and fake news in an Indian context. The article also offers a critical reflection on some of the key strategies to contain and counter fake news. For instance, media literacy and linguistic approaches such as corpus linguistics to detect fake news.
