Resumo: | With more than half a million deaths due to the Sars-Cov-2 virus in Brazil between March 2020 and June 2021, the Federal Government has been held responsible by society and other strata of power for mismanaging the pandemic of Covid-19. This led the Federal Senate to open a Investigating Comission (CPI) of Covid, in 2021, to investigate the actions and omissions of the Government in this pandemic period. It is within this universe that we aim, in this work, to explain how the Dunning-Kruger Effect (DUNNING, 2011) and cognitive dissonance (FESTINGER, 1968) are manifested in the CPI, institutionalizing disinformation (WARDLE; DERAKHSHAN, 2017) in Brazil. For this purpose, we selected excerpts from the testimonies of three prominent figures in the government summoned to testify in the process: oncologist Nise Yamaguchi, pediatrician Mayra Pinheiro and General Eduardo Pazuello and we show how these concepts materialize in their speeches. Preliminary results indicate that the disinformation board is legitimized at an institutional level, mainly by the beliefs and values that can be demonstrated by the dunning-kruger effect and by the cognitive dissonance acting on decision-makers in the Federal Government. |

For this purpose, we selected excerpts from the testimonies of three prominent figures in the government summoned to testify in the process: oncologist Nise Yamaguchi, pediatrician Mayra Pinheiro and General Eduardo Pazuello and we show how these concepts materialize in their speeches.

Isso levou o Senado Federal a abrir uma Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito (CPI) da Covid, em 2021, para investigar as ações e omissões do governo nesse período pandêmico. É sob esse universo que objetivamos, neste trabalho, explanar como o efeito dunning-kruger (DUNNING, 2011) e a dissonância cognitiva (FESTINGER, 1968) se manifestam na CPI, institucionalizando a desinformação (WARDLE; DERAKHSHAN, 2017) no país. Para esse objetivo, selecionamos trechos dos depoimentos de três personagens de destaque no governo convocados para depor no processo, a oncologista Nise Yamaguchi, a pediatra Mayra Pinheiro e o general Eduardo Pazuello, e mostramos como esses conceitos se materializam em seus discursos. Os resultados preliminares apontam que o quadro da desinformação é legitimado em nível institucional, sobretudo pelas crenças e valores que podem ser demonstrados pelo efeito dunning-kruger e pela dissonância cognitiva agindo sobre personagens com poder de decisão no Governo Federal.EdUECE2022-12-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.uece.br/index.php/linguagememfoco/article/view/923810.46230/2674-8266-14-9238Revista Linguagem em Foco; Vol. 14 No. 2 (2022): (Des)ordem informacional nas redes sociais: do discurso de ódio à liberdade de expressão; 109-127Revista Linguagem em Foco; v. 14 n. 2 (2022): (Des)ordem informacional nas redes sociais: do discurso de ódio à liberdade de expressão; 109-1272674-82662176-7955reponame:Revista Linguagem em Foco (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE)instacron:UECEporhttps://revistas.uece.br/index.php/linguagememfoco/article/view/9238/8016https://revistas.uece.br/index.php/linguagememfoco/article/view/9238/8017Copyright (c) 2022 Isadora Oliveira do Nascimento, Vicente Lima-Netohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNascimento, Isadora Oliveira doLima-Neto, Vicente2022-12-07T10:13:50Zoai:ojs.revistas.uece.br:article/9238Revistahttps://revistas.uece.br/index.php/linguagememfocoPUBhttps://revistas.uece.br/index.php/linguagememfoco/oailinguagememfoco@uece.br||2674-82662176-7955opendoar:2022-12-07T10:13:50Revista Linguagem em Foco (Online) - Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE)false |
