Description

Are conspiracy theories everywhere, and is everyone a conspiracy theorist? This ground-breaking study by Katharina Thalmann challenges common scholarly views regarding the perceived mainstreaming of conspiracy theory. Rather than following a simple trend, the research claims that conspiracy theory underwent a significant shift in status during the mid-20th century. Since that period, these theories have become highly visible objects of concern in public debates. This book provides an in-depth analysis of both academic and media discourses to explain how these ideas became part of the public conversation. It is a necessary read for those looking to understand the historical context of modern skepticism. Katharina Thalmann is the first scholar to systematically trace the history and process of delegitimization. By examining how these theories are treated by experts and the media, this work offers a fresh perspective on how certain ideas are labeled and dismissed in society. This study is essential for students and researchers interested in 20th-century history and the evolution of public discourse.
