L’imaginaire conspirationniste
Michel Maffesoli has invited Raphaël Josset, sociologist and Christophe Bourseiller, writer.
Postmodernity is hallmarked by the emergence of “minor tales”, narratives which, through social networks, avatars, video games and encounter sites, structure the contemporary imagination.
In this way, various conspiracy theories are developed about all this century’s major events, contributing to the “romancing” of reality.
To understand this comeback of the conspiracy-oriented imagination, Michel Maffesoli talks with Raphaël Josset, a sociologist and author of a book on this theme (Editions Lemieux), and Christophe Bourseiller, a writer and specialist in underground cultures.
