Resumen
[ES]A través del análisis de las teorías de comunicación de masas, específicamente la teoría de los estereotipos
de Walter Lippmann y la teoría del simulacro y la simulación de Jean Baudrillard, examinaremos el control
del discurso político en la novela de George Orwell 1984 (1949) y la miniserie de TV americana The Loudest
Voice (2019). En este estudio argumentamos que los textos literarios son fundamentales para que el
individuo desarrolle las competencias de razonamiento crítico y pensamiento independiente por medio de
los textos literarios y audiovisuales que forman parte del corpus analizado. Concluimos que, aunque hay
casi un siglo de diferencia entre ambas obras, el control de la narrativa tiene igual importancia en el
desarrollo del sistema autoritario en 1984 y en la creación de fake news para dañar el sistema democrático
en The Loudest Voice.

With this, we will argue that literary texts are key for the individual to develop their critical thinking skills and an independent thought by means of literary and audiovisual texts as the ones under study. Finally, we will conclude that, even though there is nearly a century between both works, the control of the narrative is equally important in the development of an authoritarian system in 1984 and in the creation of fake news with the purpose of undermining the democratic system in The Loudest Voice.
