The memory crisis, the intuition game and the fictionalization of the document in the paradigm of post-truth

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze one of the practical aspects of changing the paradigm with the introduction of the operative concept of post-truth. It is about the mechanism of the functioning of relative truth in the case of rewriting history and also in literary writing on historical themes. As an application domain, we have chosen the Phanariot period, a core of interest after 2010, on the editorial market. In this context, we will punctually refer to the social micro-history essays of Constanța Vintilă-Ghițulescu, and to the historical novels of Doina Rusti.
