Disinformation, Emotion, Meaning, FrameworkAbstract
Scientific disinformation has been one of the greatest concerns in the world. Despite a global agenda on fighting disinformation, built mainly from the lens of intentionality or the legitimacy of epistemic authorities, there is still no consensus on disinformation. This article proposes the construction of a framework bringing emotions as an analysis matrix since the circulation of disinformation is mediated by consolidated belief systems. Finally, recommendations that actions to confront disinformation should be based on the emotions of the public to cause effective responses in reflection on belief systems.
