CARTA: The Role of Myth in Anthropogeny - Topologies of Belief: Folklore Conspiracy Theories and Threat with Timothy Tangherlini

Political, financial and environmental crises coupled to the rise of social media have, in recent years, created a perfect storm of mis- and disinformation that leverage long standing reservoirs of belief within and across communities. These stories on social media mirror face-to-face storytelling and other storytelling environments in that they allow for the negotiation of cultural ideology (norms, beliefs, values), yet they also change the scope, speed and amplification of that storytelling.
