Resumo: Fake news and post-truth have become current terms on contemporary debate as symbols of threats to democracies. What do Johan Farkas and Jannick Schou do in the book “Post-truth, fake news and democracy. Mapping the politics of falsehood” is to question the idea of democracy that underlies these speeches and to propose a shift in the debate. The authors adopt a post-foundationalist approach to analyze more than 500 texts on fake news and post-truth published between 2015 and 2018. They argue that the criticism of these processes is mostly based on a rational view of democracy, which tends to depoliticize these processes. In arguing that the basis of democratic regimes is not the truth but popular sovereignty, they claim that centering the debate only on regaining of a certain rationality can be a dangerous path for democracies.

O que Johan Farkas e Jannick Schou fazem no livro “Post-truth, fake news and democracy. Mapping the politics of falsehood” é questionar a ideia de democracia que subjaz a esses discursos e propor um deslocamento do debate. Os autores adotam uma abordagem pós-fundacionalista da teoria do discurso para analisar mais de 500 textos sobre fake news e pós-verdade publicados entre 2015 e 2018. Eles defendem que as críticas a esses processos estão majoritariamente fundadas em uma visão racional da democracia, que tende a despolitizar esses processos. Ao defender que a base dos regimes democráticos não é a verdade e sim a soberania popular, eles argumentam que centrar o debate apenas na retomada de uma certa racionalidade pode ser um caminho perigoso para as democraciasAssociação Brasileira de Pesquisadores em Comunicação e Política2020-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revista.compolitica.org/index.php/revista/article/view/42410.21878/compolitica.2020.10.3.424Compolítica; Vol. 10 No. 3 (2020): Revista Compolitica; 225-232Compolítica; v. 10 n. 3 (2020): Revista Compolitica; 225-2322236-478110.21878/compolitica.2020.10.3reponame:Revista Compolíticainstname:Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores em Comunicação e Política (Compolítica)instacron:ABPCPporhttps://revista.compolitica.org/index.php/revista/article/view/424/289Copyright (c) 2020 Nina Santosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Nina2020-12-28T23:58:22Zoai:ojs2.compolitica.ojsbrasil.com.br:article/424RevistaONGhttp://compolitica.org/revista/index.php/revista/oairevista@compolitica.org2236-47812236-4781opendoar:2020-12-28T23:58:22Revista Compolítica - Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores em Comunicação e Política (Compolítica)false
