“…Conditions for the emergence of the post-truth era have been documented to include: a range of political, economic, and social issues, comprising economic instability, anxiety about terrorism, fear of the other and of being left behind (Suiter, 2016;Drexl, 2016); a growing preference for ease over substance, which places a lie on equal footing with a fact and resists the complexity of debate (Drexl, 2016); and the rise of the internet and social media that curb exposure to diverse points of view by making use of algorithms and filters to distil news and cultivate echo chambers based on existing patterns of use (Drexl, 2016;Pariser, 2011). This research also suggests a variety of factors underpinning the thinning out of the political center, ranging from economic anxiety (Suiter, 2016) to fears of immigration and globalization (Drexl, 2016).…”

Current literacy curriculum often reflects an emphasis on traditions of print literacy. This focus is a concern in the post-truth era, as youth engage in diverse meaning-making practices that shape their habits as consumers and producers of information. This in-depth case study investigated the in-class and at-home online behaviors of high school students. We find that even when explicit learning about ‘research’ occurred in class, students are lacking sense-making strategies in their personal online engagements. We also find that curriculum relies on tradition with very little recognition of (multi)literacies as socially constructed and that teachers desire more professional development and guidance about how to engage these literacies more holistically.

“…La alfabetización escolar y la alfabetización mediática actual se consideran desfasadas y limitadas (Parker, 2020). Internet ha adquirido un papel central en la formación de la comprensión del mundo, tanto para analfabetos como para alfabetos.…”

En la actualidad, la ignorancia, aunque útil para aspirar a la verdad, se ha convertido en un espacio vacío, donde las verdades existentes son modificadas a través de las noticias falsas o posverdad, estrategia de la agnogénesis. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la presencia del fenómeno de la posverdad en 26 países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Los aspectos metodológicos corresponden a una perspectiva netnográfica. Se utilizaron técnicas de análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo. Se realizó una búsqueda y análisis de publicaciones científicas en de bases de datos e información de los organismos Transparencia Internacional, Banco Mundial y Observatorio de Infodemia COVID-19. Los resultados permitieron determinar que la posverdad es un fenómeno ampliamente presente y relevante en ALC, difundida a través de los diversos medios de comunicación, pero con importancia relevante de las redes sociales. En ALC, la vulnerabilidad a la agnogénesis se correlacionó con la alta percepción de la corrupción por parte de la población. Se requiere profundizar en el estudio del fenómeno con enfoques multidisciplinarios, considerando la diversidad de contextos en la región.
