A presente dissertação centra-se na análise de representações construídas sobre a China e os chineses, a partir da disseminação de notícias falsas em ano de 2020, primeiro ano da pandemia de Covid-19 no mundo. Procura-se perceber o modo como concepções orientalistas emergem em pleno século XXI, em um contexto de instauração da ‘pós-verdade’ onde narrativas vão ganhando valor, na medida em que corroboram com a visão de mundo de cada indivíduo. Pretende-se observar as características de um novo ambiente comunicacional que está centrado na interação através das redes sociais e na velocidade de disseminação de informações e desinformações de todo tipo. Por fim, busca-se identificar interesses geopolíticos subjacentes à narrativa que confere uma nacionalidade e uma intencionalidade ao vírus causador da doença Covid-19.
This dissertation focuses on the analysis of the representations about China and the Chinese people that were conceived from the dissemination of fake news in 2020, the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in the world. The research aims to understand how orientalist conceptions emerge in the twenty-first century, in a context of the 'post-truth' establishment as an environment in which narratives are gaining value as well as they corroborate the worldview of each individual. This study intends to observe the characteristics of a new communicational environment that is centred on interaction through social networks and the dissemination speed of all kinds of information and misinformation. Finally, the dissertation seeks to identify geopolitical interests underlying the narrative that gives a nationality and an intentionality to the virus that causes the Covid-19 disease.
