Fooling Around : An Ethnological Study of Bigfoot Hoaxes / Ruffel och båg  : En etnologisk studie av Bigfoot-bluffar

Elliott, Emma January 2022 (has links)
This essay aims to get a deeper knowledge of “Bigfoot hoaxes” – how these hoaxes are carried out, by what type of persons, the reasoning behind the hoaxes and the consequences of them. The study investigates Bigfoot hoaxes as described in newspaper articles and in social media contexts, to see if there are any patterns to the hoaxers, the hoaxing activities and how the public reacts to them. The analysis gives an insight into the way Bigfoot hoaxes are viewed by various members of society on both sides of the fence, such as the hoaxers themselves and the persons they try to trick. / Denna studie syftar till att få en djupare förståelse för Bigfoot-bluffar – hur dessa utförs, av vilken typ av personer, resonemanget bakom bluffandet och konsekvenserna det får. Studien undersöker Bigfoot-bluffar så som de beskrivits i tidningsartiklar och i sociala medier, för att se om det finns några mönster i bluffarna, bluff-aktiviteterna och hur allmänheten reagerar på dem. Analysen ger en inblick i sättet på vilket Bigfoot-bluffar betraktas av olika personer i samhället på båda sidor om bluffen, som bluffmakarna själva och personerna de försöker lura.
