Sumario: | The lecture introduces constructions of conspiracy theories that have received attention (not only) in Germany in the course of the protests against the anti-corona measures. The focus is particularly on the legend around the “Great Reset”, a program of the World Economic Forum for crisis management that is reinterpreted by the protest milieu to prove an artificial “plandemy”. In this scenario, invoked primarily by the new right, a “globalist elite” allegedly ruling the financial markets is said to introduce communism. Not accidentally, this is a conspiracy theory that reminds of antisemitic legends of the past. The return of these traditional semantics during the Corona pandemic once again confirms the longevity of paranoid and authoritarian worldviews. |
