The Theme Of Jewish Conspiracy In Turkish Nationalism: The Case Of Cevat Rifat AtilhanKaraca, Ozen 01 June 2008 (has links) (PDF)
This study analyzes the discourse of Cevat Rifat Atilhan, a leading anti-Semite figure and a conspiracy theorist in Turkish politics. The principal aim of this analysis is to shed light on Atilhan&rsquo / s conspiratorial mindset which has a considerable influence on anti-Semitism in contemporary Turkey. To this aim, conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism, two main components of Atilhan&rsquo / s discourse are examined in relation to each other from the perspective of nationalist discourse. This study argues that conspiracy theories in Atilhan' / s discourse which explain social antagonism as a Jewish plot can be considered as instruments to the reproduction of anti-Semitism. Accordingly, the inherent mechanisms of conspiracy theories which rest on the racist and xenophobic brand of nationalism represent the society on the basis of dichotomies. In Atilhan&rsquo / s discourse, this dichotomization is based on the positioning of the Jews vis-à / -vis Turkish nation. To the extent that the Jews are represented as enemies vis-à / -vis Turkish nation, anti-Semitism becomes likely to be reproduced. The theme of Jewish conspiracy in Atilhan&rsquo / s discourse is better explained by his different positions within Turkish nationalism ranging from Kemalism to racism, from racism to Islamism and conservative tones of nationalism. When his changing positions is examined in relation to the theme of Jewish conspiracy in his discourse, it is realized that Atilhan&rsquo / s discourse have a considerable influence on the discourse of ultra-nationalist, conservative nationalist and Islamist circles whose way of thinking is dominated by conspiracy theories.

Konspirační teorie a politika na Slovensku: Jak konspirační myšlení souvisí s politickými názory a preferencemi / Conspiracy Theories and Politics in Slovakia: How Conspiracy Thinking Relates to Political Opinions and PreferencesKondrótová, Katarína January 2022 (has links)
Conspiracy Theories and Politics in Slovakia: How Conspiracy Thinking Relates to Political Opinions and Preferences Katarína Kondrótová Abstract (English) Conspiracy theories have become a fashionable buzzword, appearing across the internet, the media, and political speeches with great frequency. However, there are many misconceptions associated with them, making them more divisive and mysterious than they need to be. The present contribution seeks to remedy that by providing a deep dive into conspiracy theories. It examines the multitude of their possible definitions and conceptualizations, their existence across history, as well as past research findings about why they appeal to us. In the second half, conspiracy theories are presented through new research regarding their relation to political and ideological preferences of Slovaks. The findings are in line with past studies, showing a relationship between stronger conspiracy beliefs and extremist thinking, preference of authoritarian policies, and low faith in authorities. A regression analysis also uncovered a strong correlation between conspiracy beliefs and the political party the respondents had voted for, as well as their preference of the politics and ideologies of 'the West' (EU, USA) or 'the East' (Russian federation).

The Texas Revolution as an Internal ConspiracyWaller, Patsy Joyce 06 1900 (has links)
The idea of the Texas Revolution as an internal conspiracy cannot be eliminated. This thesis describes the role of a small minority of the wealthier settlers in Texas in precipitating the Texas Revolution for their own economic reasons. This group, made up of many of the leading figures in Texas, were, for the most part, well-to-do farmers, merchants, and professional men.. Most of them were slaveholders, and their prosperity depended upon the continued existence of this institution. In their minds, the entire economic growth and development of Texas rested upon slavery. When the Mexican government began to threaten the economic future of Texas by the passage of prohibitatory laws on slavery and commerce, many of the leaders in Texas began to think of freeing Texas from Mexican control. The threat to their own economic position and prosperity gave birth to the idea of Texas independence.

Jakten på det försvunna Egypten : En narrativanalys av en konspirationsteori på YouTube / The Pursuit of Lost Egypt : A narrative study of a YouTube conspiracy theoryLindgren, Eric, Arousell Olin, Philip January 2019 (has links)
Det finns en pågående samhällsdebatt om spridning av desinformation på internet och vilka samhällskonsekvenser det kan innebära. På internet, exempelvis YouTube, möjliggörs spridandet av information till en stor publik, utan att någon granskar eller reglerar dess innehåll, vilket i sin tur gör det lättare att sprida desinformation. I studien analyseras en konspirationsteoretisk video på YouTube med hjälp av metoden narrativanalys. Syftet med studien är att öka förståelsen för uppbyggnaden av en konspirations- teoretisk video utifrån de narrativa drag som uppvisas, vilket görs med hjälp av teorier inom narratologi och konspirationsteori. Vi har som mål att utreda vilken betydelse de aktörer som verkar inom videon har för att skapa ett övertygande narrativ. Utifrån syftet har studiens frågeställningar formulerats: Vilken funktion fyller aktörerna i videon? Vilka narrativa hjälpmedel använder sig producenten av för att ifrågasätta tidigare forskning? Studien besvarar syfte och frågeställningar genom att i analysen undersöka videomaterialet med hjälp av narrativanalysmetoden aktantmodellen för att söka efter narrativa strukturer, generella teorier om konspirationsteorier samt hur den litterära berättarformeln mysterium uttrycker sig i videon. Resultatet visade att aktantmodellen underlättade struktureringen av materialet och att berättarrösten inom videon besitter en omfattande kontroll över innehållet och den narrativa strukturen. Vi upptäckte att materialet inte uppnådde samtliga klassiska narrativa drag och mysterieformelns kännetecken, men vi kom fram till att producenten till viss del använder sig av en narrativ struktur och mysterieformel för att skapa en konspirationsteori. Avslutningsvis upptäckte vi att videon är uppbyggd av sammankopplade händelser vilka bygger upp konspirationsteorin till en helhet som ämnar att väcka uppmärksamhet och möjligen förändra den nuvarande etablerade teorin kring att Cheopspyramiden var en gravkammare. / There is an ongoing public debate regarding desinformation on the internet and what consequences it might cause to society. On the internet, for example on YouTube, dissemination of information is possible to an wide audience without anyone reviewing or regulating the content which makes it easier to circulate desinformation. This study analyses a conspiracy theory on YouTube through narrative analysis. The purpose of the study is to increase the understanding of a conspiracy theory and research how the narrative is constructed within the video, this is executed with theories from narratology and conspiracy theories. The study also wants to investigate the function of different actors within the video and their roles in the creation of a persuasive narrative. From this purpose we formulated our research questions, which are: What functions does the different actors within the video fulfill? Which narrative instruments does the producer use to question former developed research within the field? To approach the purpose and the formulated questions we research our empiric material with actantial model to look for narrative structures, usual characteristics of conspiracy theory and how mysteries is manifested in the video. The result of the study showed that the actantial model eased our structuring of the video and that the storyteller did possess an comprehensive control over the video. Through the analysis we discovered that all of the usual narrative characteristics of a narrative was not met and that goes for the formula of mystery as well. We did however conclude that the producer uses parts from both narrative and mystery to develop the conspiracy theory. Finally we identified that the video is created with connected events which are constructed to a whole that becomes a conspiracy theory which intend to raise attention and possibly change the current understanding of the function of the Cheops pyramid.
