The application of humanities disciplines—history, philosophy, literature, cultural studies—to the study of debunking. This field examines the historical emergence of debunking as a cultural practice, the narratives and rhetorical strategies debunkers use, the representation of debunkers and their targets in popular culture, and the ethical and existential dimensions of debunking. It also explores the literary forms of debunking (the takedown, the expose, the fact‑check) as genres with their own conventions and effects. The human sciences of debunking treat debunking as a cultural and moral phenomenon, not just a cognitive or social one.
