Countering disinformation narratives through Media and Information Literacy, Cultural Studies and Popular Documentation

Abstract

In this article, we outline an initial reflection on the dialogical relationship between the characteristics of popular documentation with the principles of Media and Information Literacy and the theory of Cultural Studies as critical educational processes and tools that provide the subject with a leading role in countering disinformation narratives. The study, of a basic nature, exploratory and descriptive nature using bibliographic research regarding its procedures, demonstrated that, based on the political and educational value of the popular document, with Media and Information Literacy and Cultural Studies, the subject, as a protagonist, through the use of questions, has critical conditions to articulate, together with other information and media sources, the political, social, cultural and educational impositions and biases of power structures, hegemonic discourses and disinformation narratives.
