Conspiracy Theories in the Time of Covid-19 provides a wide-ranging analysis of the emergence and development of conspiracy theories during the Covid-19 pandemic, with a focus on the US and the UK.The book combines digital methods analysis of large datasets assembled from social media with politically and culturally contextualised close readings informed by cultural studies. It also argues against the tendency to view conspiracy theories as merely evidence of a fringe or pathological way of thinking. In contrast to other studies which often have an alarmist take on the infodemic, it places Covid-19 conspiracy theories in a longer historical perspective.
The authors Instead, the starting assumption is that conspiracy theories, including Covid-19 conspiracy theories, often reflect genuine and legitimate concerns, even if their factual claims are wide of the mark.
