“…This is, on the one hand, because subjectivism has been an eminent driving force behind post-factual reporting, fake news and false data dissemination (Prado 2018:1-14), which severely affect our perception of society. On the other hand, it is because narcissistic traits are highly associated with the current post-truth environment (Peters 2017;Thurston 2018;Hannan 2018), particularly on social media (Buffardi & Campbell 2008;Bergman, Fearrington, Davenport & Bergman 2011;Hannan 2018). And naturally, these latter reasons are extremely worrying.…”

The importance of storytelling in the 21st Century's media is indisputable. Facts alone do not satisfy our desire for identity. Only stories can provide us with a sense of identification and belonging. However, stories can also exacerbate our emotional and narcissistic response; and this is precisely what posttruth storytelling is all about: fact-devaluation, appeal to the emotions, extreme partiality and aggressive rhetoric. Based on Freud's theory of narcissism, our research article proposes an objective and interdisciplinary model from which we can recognise, depict and analyse narcissistic patterns in today's cross-media storytelling. In effect, this will help us to better understand the story of the refugee Nujeen Mustafa, which seems to illustrate so well our explicit and implicit dynamics of self-love.

O artigo analisa o crescimento recente do anti-intelectualismo, associado à nova extrema-direita (alt-right), a partir da categoria de “capital cultural”. Alimentado pelos novos circuitos de disseminação dos discursos, ele promove a desconfiança em relação às vozes autorizadas da ciência, da escola e do jornalismo, em favor dos saberes espontâneos do “homem comum”. O resultado é uma situação que priva de recursos os detentores de capital cultural – os setores dominados da classe dominante, na definição de Bourdieu – em favor dos detentores de capital econômico.
