Abstract

Users of social networks have surely known extraordinary events that, after being news, end up finding on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok or YouTube, sounding boards that generate a significant media landscape. Especially in surprising events, where the sciences do not always have
immediate answers, digital technologies become media through which other possibilities of human understanding appear. There, beliefs are the sediment of defining myths of other epistemologies. Therefore, the objective of this article is to make an approach to the role that communication plays in the construction of mythical narratives that are defining meaning practices among users of social networks. The reference research is qualitative, for whose empirical survey online observation, semi-structured interview and qualitative content analysis have been considered to interpret the findings.
