Komplo Teorileri

What actually happened in the September 11 attacks? What kind of game was behind the Kennedy assassination? What is the secret of the organization called "Opus Dei", which is protected by the Vatican? How can the connections of the masons, Jews, and various secret organizations that "rule" the whole world be revealed? Or what does the "superior mind" that never stops playing tricks on Türkiye represent? What happened on July 15?...

Conspiracy theories have an important place in our lives, with thousands of similar questions that can be asked around the world and Turkey. We come into contact with conspiracy theories everywhere, in politics, media, cultural and social life, on various occasions. Too many people believe in conspiracy theories, construct, reproduce and circulate them. Moreover, all of these can become serious determinants in some cases.

In this book, Kerem Karaosmanoğlu theorizes conspiracy theories: He goes down to the origins and looks at the first texts that can be considered as conspiracy theories; It examines the discourse commonalities in conspiracy theories, their structural features, and the ongoing similarities in information that has already been falsified or turned out to be a lie; It shows how the content is produced with reasoning based on "fallacy" despite the emphasis on "scientificity". While doing all this, Karaosmanoğlu does not ignore the personal and social psychological dimension of the work, and holds a vivid mirror to the relationship between conspiracism and politics, ideology and culture. An interdisciplinary, scientific approach to conspiracy theories based on an equation such as "If it's heads, I win; if it's heads, you lose."
