The objective of CONSPIRATIONS is to analyze the growing tension over conspiracy theories in Europe. The project proposes an innovative approach that moves beyond an exclusive focus on 'truthers' to examine the perspective of 'truth defenders' as well. This approach goes beyond the question of who is wrong and what to do about it. Instead, it offers a deeper understanding of the conflicts themselves, which are clearly of urgent importance for contemporary Europe. The premise of this project is that the answer lies not in addressing the content of the conspiracy theories themselves, but rather the kinds of conditions that give rise to them.
The objectives of this project will be achieved through ethnographic case studies.
We are looking for two students who will conduct case studies in Sweden and Germany respectively.
