Inhaltliches
Most visibly since the COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of various types of conspiracy content via social media has accelerated. While the term 'conspiracy theory' itself is highly debated, we want to turn towards different methodological approaches to analyzing the phenomenon in-depth.
In this seminar, we will draw from qualitative approaches such as narrative analysis, multimodal analysis, and discursive analysis to discuss different kinds of conspiracy content as communicative and social phenomena. In groups, you will analyze one example of conspiracy content (e.g., a social media post and comments) in your chosen way and present it in class and in (creative) text form so that we, at the end of the semester, have a shared collection of your different insights and perspectives.
Please note: In this seminar, we do not approach conspiracy belief as a psychological phenomenon, but rather conspiracism in terms of its sociocultural meaning and consequences.
The goal is to develop the methodological skills and media competency to critically analyze conspiracy content. In this seminar, we aim to create a collection of critical and creative analyses of conspiracy content, that we will share within the class.
