Palabras clave: Injusticia epistémica, Cámaras de eco, COVID-19

Resumen

Durante toda la crisis del Covid-19 teorías de conspiración e información falsa se extendió por todo el globo. En este artículo queremos sugerir que la diseminación y retención de desinformación se entiende mejor -evidencia contraria no obstante- en el contexto de una cámara de eco tal como la describe Chris Thi Nguyen. Queremos argüir, además, que las personas activas en estas cámaras de eco son, al mismo tiempo, en diferentes grados tanto perpetradores como víctimas de injusticia epistémica. Este artículo, aunque no pueda cubrir ese fenómeno en su totalidad, esperamos señalar una ruta para una investigación adicional.
