Resumo: This article explores discursivities present in the so-called post-truth era. To do so, it examines divergent epistemic contexts of truth production, which also produce truth as a value for science and democracy. In these contexts of truth and value production there is a dispute for legitimacy and power that is related to metaphysics producing discourses of visibility and invisibility, which operate as means of effecting truth. Based on ethnographic research carried out in Northern Mozambique, it is observed that the State immanently coexists with the politics of the invisible world, through the discourse of sorcery. Thus, I propose to establish an analogy between different dynamics of operation with the occult coming from both the discourse of sorcery and the negationist and conspiratorial discourses, present in Brazilian politics and in the world, as have been demonstrated by current ethnographic and political studies.

Este artigo explora certas discursividades presentes na chamada era da pós-verdade, através de contextos epistêmicos divergentes, em que a produção de verdades, e a produção da verdade como valor na ciência e na política, entra em disputas por legitimidade e poder. Tais conflitos estão relacionados a metafísicas produtoras de discursos de visibilidade e de invisibilidade, que operam como meios de efetuação da verdade. A partir de uma investigação etnográfica feita no norte de Moçambique, onde o Estado convive de forma imanente com uma política do mundo invisível, por meio do discurso da feitiçaria, proponho estabelecer uma analogia entre dinâmicas diferentes de operação com o oculto, advindas tanto do discurso da feitiçaria como dos discursos negacionistas, presentes na política brasileira e no mundo, conforme tem sido demonstrado por estudos etnográficos e políticos atuais.
