A Era da Desinformação: pós-verdade, fake news e outras armadilhas

Description

The book provides elements that lead us to articulate ways of confronting bad faith and self-deception and inventing new uses of big data (the overdose of contemporary information), committed to the common good. Furthermore, the book faces a very old problem in its most current facet, which the author calls "networked digital disinformation". The author started from the hypothesis that, although reality in its fullness cannot be reproduced textually, it remains legitimate and necessary to face, for ethical, political and epistemological reasons, the idea of ​​truth, understood as the discursive elaboration of a correct intellectual apprehension, or more accurate than others in dispute, about the facts and their reasons.
