This article analyzes the value of truth in postmodern societies and discusses how truth becomes abstract or of little importance. The study discusses the challenges faced by citizenship and how public spaces are being threatened by new technologies and media. In times of misinformation, how communication influences the exercise of citizenship and, specifically, the vote and the implementation of policies. Ignorance and information, are put together with powerful manipulative structures rooted in technological instruments. The "post-truth" emerges as the wildcard concept to understand the dynamics that plague democracies. The study is based in exploratory and bibliographic research and concludes that reflection is needed on what kind of democracy is unveiled and what are democratic instruments capable of overlooking the absence of neutrality and media impartiality. |
