- Contents
- We will look at various conspiracy theories since the late 18th century - but not in terms of whether they are 'true' or 'false'. Rather, we will enquire into the cultural work that they do (how they affect culture and society?) and approach them with symptomal readings (i.e. consider them as symptoms of more fundamental anxieties, fears or desires). Topics include writings on the French Revolution, Shakespeare conspiracies, Paranoia Movies since the 1970s, British TV (the BBC's Edge of Darkness, a key television series of the 1980s) plus some contemporary conspiracy theories.
This course will be online.
