Resumo: The article presented here is about fake news and, in a broader sense, the use of disinformation as a persuasion resource. We defend the point that fake news is a complex phenomenon that is apprehensible in the concrete conditions that preside over the manifestations of any event. To understand them, we must a) identify what fake news is, differentiating them from similar and analogous phenomena; b) recognize that, as it is a real phenomenon and must be analyzed in line with theoretical perspectives that allow considering it in its complexity; c) once understood as real phenomena and analyzed from a perspective that is both realistic and critical, we will consider the possibility of analyzing them from the perspective of social psychology, based on the constitution of a corpus; and d) we will present some suggestions, resulting from the arguments highlighted in the previous sections, that offer indicators of how we can face the flood of disinformation to which we are subject due to the demands imposed by current technological development and political polarization.

A temática comum à comunicação, e ao artigo aqui apresentado, é a das fake news e, em um sentido mais amplo, o uso da desinformação como um recurso de persuasão. Defendemos o argumento de que as fake news devem ser interpretadas como um fenômeno real, complexo e, como tal, apreensível nas condições concretas que presidem as manifestações de qualquer evento real. Para entendê-las devemos a) identificar o que é fake news, diferenciando-as de fenômenos similares e análogos; b) reconhecer que, por se tratar de um fenômeno real,  deve ser analisada em consonância com perspectivas teóricas que permitam considerá-la na sua complexidade; c) uma vez entendidas como fenômenos reais e analisados segundo uma perspectiva ao mesmo tempo realista e crítica, consideramos a possibilidade de analisá-las segundo a perspectiva da psicologia social, a partir da constituição de um corpus; e d) apresentaremos algumas sugestões, decorrentes dos argumentos assinalados nas seções anteriores, que ofereçam indicadores de como podemos enfrentar a enxurrada de desinformações as quais estamos sujeitos em função das demandas impostas pelo desenvolvimento tecnológico atual  e pela crescente polarização política.Edunisc2022-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/signo/article/view/1784910.17058/signo.v47i90.17849Signo; v. 47 n. 90 (2022): A formação do leitor crítico em tempos da emergência das tecnologias de (des)informação; 98-1171982-2014reponame:Signo (Santa Cruz do Sul.
