| Résumé: | Nowadays, ignorance, although useful to aspire to truth, has become an empty space where existing truths are modified through fake news or post-truth, a strategy of agnogenesis. The objective of the study was to identify the presence of the post-truth phenomenon in 26 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The methodological aspects correspond to a netnographic perspective. Qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques were used. A search and analysis of scientific publications in databases and information from Transparency International, the World Bank and the Observatory of Infodemics COVID-19 was carried out. The results made it possible to determine that post-truth is a widely present and relevant phenomenon in LAC, disseminated through the various media, but with relevant importance of social networks. In LAC, vulnerability to agnogenesis correlated with the high perception of corruption by the population. Further study of the phenomenon is required with multidisciplinary approaches, considering the diversity of contexts in the region. |
