| Abstrakt: |
The corona crisis brought to the fore otherwise hidden world views in society. Among those protesting on social media or in the streets against the state-applied measures to control the spread of coronavirus, there seemed to be a proportionately high number of people whose attitudes and lifestyles are shaped by conspiracy theories and/or new spirituality. In social media groups, corona issues generated heated debates and led to conflicts and formations of new groups and communities. In the following overview, I will highlight some of the key dynamics and elements of an anti-corona conspiritual field where the new spirituality environment and conspiracy theoretic thinking and information consumption come together. I offer some answers to the questions about conspirituality: what it is, why it has emerged and become increasingly visible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
