Synopsis

Starting from the categories of rational and factual truth, this book aims to analyze the socio-political implications the post-truth phenomenon has had on Colombia during the development of the plebiscite to endorse the Havana Agreements of 2016 and the presidential elections of 2018, examining the ways in which political subjects consume the information circulating and propagate it through the different communication channels, assuming radical positions that make the national consensus and the peaceful construction of the Nation around the democratic values stipulated by the 1991 Constitution impossible. In view of this, it is worth asking What political and social implications are generated for Colombia with the use of post-truth in national discussion scenarios, considering the 2016 and 2018 events? and on the other hand, what are the mechanisms that work when it comes to circulating information and proposing it through the language of entertainment?

Keywords: post-truth, critical thinking, democracy, development, pluralism, social networks
