Resumo: Misinformation has been the object of investigation by researchers from different areas of knowledge, such as Computer Science, Psychology, Information Science, Law, Education, Sociology and Communication, among others. It is characterized by being almost always accompanied by other informational phenomena that have gained notoriety in recent years such as post-truth, hate speech and disinformation bubbles. In an attempt to broaden the understanding of such a complex informational phenomenon in terms of the proportion that its impacts on society have taken, the contribution of critical theory to the study of disinformation bubbles is investigated here. In line with this problem, the research has as its general objective: to discuss critical theory as an alternative approach to the phenomenon of disinformation bubbles. In turn, it adopts as specific objectives: 1) to analyze the contributions provided by critical theory to the understanding of society's problems; 2) relate the concepts of information regime and critical information theory; and, finally, 3) explain the importance of critical information competence for understanding the phenomenon of disinformation bubbles. Due to its philosophical-historical, empirical and interdisciplinary nature, it is possible to see how much this theory can contribute to the clarification of such informational phenomena. In this sense, the present article adopts the bibliographic research, with a qualitative approach, and exploratory from the point of view of the objectives as a methodological design. From the theoretical contributions provided by critical theory, from Frankfurtian and Marxist bases, it is believed that it is possible to expand the understanding of disinformation bubbles, their functioning, their effects and how society can deal with this informational phenomenon.

Se caracteriza por estar casi siempre acompañada de otros fenómenos informativos que han ganado notoriedad en los últimos años como la posverdad, el discurso del odio y las burbujas de desinformación. En un intento por ampliar la comprensión de un fenómeno informacional tan complejo en términos de la proporción que han tomado sus impactos en la sociedad, se investiga aquí la contribución de la teoría crítica al estudio de las burbujas de desinformación. En línea con este problema, la investigación tiene como objetivo general: discutir la teoría crítica como un enfoque alternativo al fenómeno de las burbujas de desinformación. A su vez, adopta como objetivos específicos: 1) analizar los aportes que brinda la teoría crítica a la comprensión de los problemas de la sociedad; 2) relacionar los conceptos de régimen de información y teoría crítica de la información; y, finalmente, 3) explicar la importancia de la competencia informativa crítica para comprender el fenómeno de las burbujas de desinformación. Por su carácter filosófico-histórico, empírico e interdisciplinario, es posible ver cuánto puede contribuir esta teoría al esclarecimiento de tales fenómenos informacionales. En este sentido, el presente artículo adopta como diseño metodológico la investigación bibliográfica, con enfoque cualitativo, y exploratoria desde el punto de vista de los objetivos. A partir de los aportes teóricos que brinda la teoría crítica, desde bases frankfurtianas y marxistas, se cree que es posible ampliar la comprensión de las burbujas de desinformación, su funcionamiento, sus efectos y cómo la sociedad puede hacer frente a este fenómeno informacional.A desinformação tem sido objeto de investigação por parte de pesquisadores de diversas áreas do conhecimento, como Ciência da Computação, Psicologia, Ciência da Informação, Direito, Educação, Sociologia e Comunicação, dentre outras. Caracteriza-se por vir quase sempre acompanhada de outros fenômenos informacionais que ganharam notoriedade nos últimos anos como a pós-verdade, discursos de ódio e as bolhas de desinformação. Na tentativa de ampliar a compreensão acerca de tal fenômeno informacional complexo quanto à proporção que os seus impactos sobre a sociedade têm tomado é que se investiga aqui a contribuição da teoria crítica para o estudo das bolhas de desinformação. Alinhado a essa problemática, a pesquisa tem como objetivo geral: discutir a teoria crítica como alternativa de abordagem ao fenômeno das bolhas de desinformação. Por sua vez, adota como objetivos específicos: 1) analisar as contribuições proporcionadas pela teoria crítica para a compreensão dos problemas da sociedade; 2) relacionar os conceitos de regime de informação e teoria crítica da informação; e, por fim, 3) explicitar a importância da competência crítica em informação para o entendimento do fenômeno das bolhas de desinformação. Por sua natureza filosófico-histórica, empírica e interdisciplinar vislumbra-se o quanto essa teoria pode contribuir para o esclarecimento de tais fenômenos informacionais. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo adota como delineamento metodológico a pesquisa bibliográfica, de abordagem qualitativa, e exploratória do ponto de vista dos objetivos. A partir dos aportes teóricos proporcionados pela teoria crítica, de bases frankfurtiana e marxista, acredita-se que é possível ampliar a compreensão acerca das bolhas de desinformação, seu funcionamento, seus efeitos e como a sociedade pode lidar com esse fenômeno informacional.Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe2022-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionResearch PaperArtículo de InvestigaciónArtigo de Pesquisaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.edicic.org/revistaedicic/article/view/16510.62758/re.v2i3.165Revista EDICIC; Vol. 2 No. 3 (2022): Special Number: Challenges to face in relation to disinformation, counter-information and fake newsRevista EDICIC; Vol. 2 Núm. 3 (2022): Número Especial: Retos a afrontar sobre la desinformación, la contrainformación y las noticias falsasRevista EDICIC; v. 2 n. 3 (2022): Número Especial: Desafios a enfrentar em relação à desinformação, contrainformação e notícias falsas2236-575310.62758/re.v2i3reponame:Revista EDICICinstname:Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe (EDICIC)instacron:EDICICporhttps://ojs.edicic.org/revistaedicic/article/view/165/154Derechos de autor 2022 Revista EDICIChttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSena, Halan Helry Barbosa de Nunes, Jefferson Veras2024-04-26T11:27:39Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/165Revistahttp://ojs.edicic.org/index.php/revistaedicicPRIhttp://ojs.edicic.org/index.php/revistaedicic/oaiedicic@edicic.org2236-57532236-5753opendoar:2024-04-26T11:27:39Revista EDICIC - Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe (EDICIC)false
