This article explores the concept of post-truth and its impact on racism and xenophobia. Post-truth refers to a cultural phenomenon where personal beliefs and emotions hold more sway than facts or evidence. This can lead to the shaping of perceptions of reality that are divorced from actual reality, fueling intolerance and giving rise to new forms of racism and xenophobia. The article argues that education can play a role in addressing these issues by promoting critical intercultural media and news literacy. It suggests that education should shift its focus from job training to critical thinking and action, and cultivate intercultural literacy to combat divisive narratives and stereotypes. The article also discusses the importance of emotional reactions and the pedagogy of discomfort in addressing racism and fostering a deeper understanding of social issues. By challenging established viewpoints and engaging in open and honest discussions, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of racism and work towards dismantling discriminatory structures. The article calls for education stakeholders to incorporate a pedagogy of discomfort into their policies, curricula, and methodologies to foster long-term commitment to anti-racist practices.
