STJERNFELT, Frederik. In the Face of Fake News: the Urgency of a Realist Semiotics. Infor [online]. 2024, vol.29, n.1, e205.  Epub 01-Jun-2024. ISSN 2301-1378.  https://doi.org/10.35643/info.29.1.8.

This small paper argues that the notion of truth has been marginalized in much semiotics. As an alternative, Peirce’s semiotic theory of propositions and its connection to his special brand of realism are briefly recapitulated. It is argued that they constitute a multimodal theory of truth-claiming, facilitating the understanding of how current media make truth claims in combinations of many signs, linguistic, visual, auditive, gestural and much more.
