Resumo: In this article, written under the perspective of pecheutian discourse analysis (Orlandi, 2013, 2017), we aim to analyze conspiracy theories as practiced by subjects in the virtual world. We mobilize the concept of “paranoid style” by Hofstadter (1964) to base our discussion about conspiracy theories. Afterwards, we stablish a relationship between the paranoid conspiracy and the inner workings of delusion as debated by Freud (2020) and Remo Bodei (2003). Delusions and conspiracy are linked by the concept of hyperinclusion proposed by Bodei (2003), which is discursively interpreted in this work as a mark of a immovability of meaning. In other words, as an extreme level of meaning saturation, that foments the illusion of individuality, autonomy and literacy in the subject. We conclude, after an analysis of a corpus related to fires in 2019, that the web can foment conspiracy theories by incentivizing hyperinclusion, which is harmful for public debate.

Movilizamos el concepto de estilo paranoico propuesto por Hofstadter (1964) para apoyar la discusión sobre las teorías de la conspiración. Establecemos una relación entre la paranoia conspirativael funcionamiento del delirio tal como lo piensan Freud (2020) y Remo Bodei (2003). El delírio, la web y las conspiraciones están vinculados por el concepto de hiperinclusión propuesto por Bodei (2003), que se interpreta discursivamente en este trabajo como una marca de inmovilidad de significados. Es un nivel extremo de saturación, que a su vez intensifica la ilusión de individualidad, autonomía y literalidad. Concluimos que la web puede fomentar las teorías de la conspiración fomentando la hiperinclusión en el tema, perjudicando el debate público de ideas.Neste artigo, escrito sob a perspectiva teórica da análise de discurso pecheutiana (Orlandi, 2013, 2017), buscamos analisar teorias da conspiração a partir de seu funcionamento online entre sujeitos. Mobilizamos o conceito de estilo paranoico de fazer política proposto por Hofstadter (1964) para embasar a discussão sobre teorias conspiratórias. Na sequência, estabelecemos uma relação entre a paranoia conspiracionista e o funcionamento do delírio como pensado por Freud (2020) e Remo Bodei (2003). Delírio, conspirações e web são então ligados pelo conceito de hiperinclusão proposto por Bodei (2003), interpretado discursivamente neste trabalho enquanto marca de uma imovência de sentidos. Trata-se de um nível extremo de saturação, que, por sua vez, intensifica no sujeito a ilusão de individualidade, de autonomia e de literalidade. Concluímos, após análise de corpus sobre incêndios em 2019, que a web pode fomentar teorias conspiratórias ao incentivar a hiperinclusão no sujeito, prejudicando o debate público de ideias.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística - UFSC2024-03-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionavaliado por paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/8408510.5007/1984-8412.2023.e84085Fórum Linguístico; Vol. 20 No. 4 (2023)Fórum Linguístico; Vol. 20 Núm. 4 (2023)Fórum Linguístico; v. 20 n. 4 (2023)1984-84121415-8698reponame:Fórum Linguísticoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/84085/55350https://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/84085/55351http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVieira Pereira, Israel2024-03-06T18:59:27Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/84085Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/oaiportaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br || atilio.butturi@ufsc.br1984-84121984-8412opendoar:2024-03-06T18:59:27Fórum Linguístico - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
