| Sumario: | Post-truth is a concept that describes the trend in which emotions and personal beliefs influence public opinion more than objective facts and verifiable evidence. In the age of digital information and social media, post-truth has become more relevant, as misinformation and fake news can spread quickly, making it difficult to discern truth from falsehood. This phenomenon poses significant challenges to informed decision-making and trust in the media and institutions.This text analyzes the contribution of the work of Marc Angenot, semiologist and literary critic, which is based on deep semiotic and rhetorical research to identify discursive patterns, persuasion strategies and the evolution of political discussions in that historical period. His work highlights the importance of speeches in the transformation of society and the creation of a new political consciousness. Furthermore, Angenot establishes a typology of discourses that has been influential in the study of rhetoric and political communication. |
