ABSTRACT
In this article, we analyze the “infodemics” phenomenon - which consists of an excess of information, true or false, on a given subject - in the specific context of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, about the disease Covid-19. Based on the concepts of Burnout Society, Performance Society (HAN, 2017aHAN, Byung-Chul. Sociedade do cansaço. Petrópolis-RJ: Vozes , 2017a.); Transparency Society (HAN, 2017bHAN, Byung-Chul. Sociedade da transparência. Petrópolis-RJ: Vozes , 2017b.) and Demediatization (HAN, 2018HAN, Byung-chul. No enxame perspectivas do digital. Petrópolis-RJ: Vozes, 2018.), we analyzed how the discursive interactions and the flow of false information cured by humans and machines contribute to the questioning of scientific discourse during the pandemic by web consumers.
