Resumo: | The recent phenomenon of fake news has become increasingly present in social communication networks, especially on the internet, through its social platforms. Being considered false news, intentionally created with the intent of deceiving the recipients of its contents, sometimes with marketing intent and other times with political purposes, little was discussed about the conditions that contribute to their success. In this sense, the objective of this article is to resort to Freud’s work entitled “Group Psychology” to understand fake news as a mass phenomenon, therefore, admissible of belief by the individual inserted in the collective soul of the crowds. As a result, it was possible to understand the psychological aspects that involve individuals in the masses and that justify the renunciation of critical behavior in the face of the fallacious narratives of fake news. This collective soul assumes as truth a narrative that corresponds only to the needs of meaning and coherence in relation to its desires, sacrificing objective and factual evidence of reality. Additionally, it corroborates the construction of a reality that justifies the misleading prophecy launched by fake news. Indeed, the work sought to contribute to the identification of the aspects that contribute to the success of fake news and its form of social operation, offering subsidies to combat this phenomenon and undermine its destructive potential in society. Knowing the conditions and the form of action of fake news, opens a way for its prevention and early treatment |

Knowing the conditions and the form of action of fake news, opens a way for its prevention and early treatmentO recente fenômeno das fake news vem se tornando cada vez mais presente nas redes de comunicação social, especialmente na internet, por meio de suas plataformas sociais. Sendo consideradas notícias falsas, intencionalmente criadas com o intuito de enganar os receptores de seus conteúdos, umas vezes com intenção mercadológica, outras vezes com propósitos políticos, pouco se discutiu sobre as condições que contribuem para o seu sucesso. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse artigo é recorrer à obra de Freud intitulada Psicologia das massas para a compreensão das fake news enquanto um fenômeno de massa, logo, admissível de crença pelo indivíduo inserido na alma coletiva das multidões. Como resultado, foi possível compreender os aspectos psicológicos que envolvem os indivíduos nas massas e que justificam a renúncia de comportamentos críticos diante das narrativas falaciosas das fake news. Tal alma coletiva é capaz de assumir como verdade uma narrativa que corresponda apenas às necessidades de sentido e coerência em relação aos seus anseios, sacrificando as evidências objetivas e factuais da realidade. Adicionalmente, corrobora a própria construção de uma realidade que justifique a profecia enganadora lançada pelas fake news. Com efeito, o trabalho buscou contribuir na identificação dos aspectos que contribuem para o êxito das fake news e sua forma de operação social, no intuito de oferecer subsídios para o combate a este fenômeno e minar seu potencial destrutivo na sociedade. Conhecendo as condições e a forma de ação das fake news, abre-se um caminho para sua prevenção e tratamento precoce.Universidade Federal de Pernambuco2022-05-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/index.php/estudosuniversitarios/article/view/25313110.51359/2675-7354.2022.253131Estudos Universitários; v. 39 n. 1 (2022): Ciência, cultura, linguagem e democracia: desafios contemporâneos; 161-1922675-73540425-4082reponame:Estudos Universitários (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE)instacron:UFPEporhttps://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/index.php/estudosuniversitarios/article/view/253131/41219Copyright (c) 2022 Estudos Universitáriosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoreira, Rafael da SilveiraMoreira, Júlio da SilveiraOliveira, Erico Andrade Marques de2023-07-19T16:40:32Zoai:oai.periodicos.ufpe.br:article/253131Revistahttps://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/estudosuniversitariosPUBhttps://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/estudosuniversitarios/oaiestudosuniversitarios@ufpe.br2675-73540425-4082opendoar:2023-07-19T16:40:32Estudos Universitários (Online) - Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE)false |
