| Sumario: | The dynamics of disinformation in present times is the subject of analysis from different areas of knowledge. This paper discusses theoretically the social and political bonds of disinformation circulating in social media, having as foundations the Lacanian conception of the subject and his theory of discourses. In this perspective, we ask: how is the social bond of disinformation characterized in politics? Our objective is to draw the configuration of the analysis matrices to understand the social bond built between people in this field of human experience. This is a theoretical exercise framed in Lacan's production and studies linked to the same tradition with a focus on social and political analysis. First, we characterize the subject according to Lacanian theory,highlighting its theoretical impact on the post-structuralist current and establishing its connection with the political. Then we define disinformation and its relationship with contemporary political reality and, finally, we propose the formulation of three discourses that define the social link of disinformation in social networks, which are the discourse of the supposed university student, the supposed analyst and capitalism. |
