The text analyzes the logic present in the circulation of the expert discourse that occurs amid the dissemination of disinformation about COVID-19, in videos shared on WhatsApp, from March to May 2020. Videos circulating on social media bring expert voices outside the text of journalism (where they would be represented as sources) and outside professional communication (where they would be managed by advisors), which creates an effect of authenticity and spontaneity. With the procedure of global semantics and the analysis of disinformation flows, we analyze the enunciative scenarios in which the expert discourse is instituted, verifying how the projection of an ‘I’, in its own scenography, acts to affirm the precepts that it supports, besides favoring the sedimentation of the contents treated by the speakers.Downloads
