Veracity and narrative: the criteria of truth in Bolsonaro’s interview with Jornal Nacional

Abstract

The work proposes an investigation into the truth criteria that underpin the interview that Bolsonaro, as a candidate, gave to Jornal Nacional on August 28, 2018, as well as the simultaneous check done by Agência Lupa. The search is to understand which mechanisms give veracity to the candidate’s speech and which are claimed by the check. For this, we work with the concepts of truth (ARENDT, 1972), lie (DERRIDA, 1996) and narrative (FIGUEIREDO, 2016, PIGLIA, 2001).
