Study Group: Anthropology of Post-Truth, Denialism and Conspiratorial Formations - 5th meeting

The Study Group "Anthropology of Post-Truth, Denialism and Conspiracy Formations" aims to analyze and discuss, from an anthropological perspective, the phenomena of post-truth, denialism and conspiracy theories.

Meeting theme

The group will discuss the following text:

HOLANDA, Jorge Garcia de. Aesthetics of a flat and stationary world: science, religion and conspiracism in the flat-earth digital ecosystem. 2023. Thesis (Doctorate in Social Anthropology) – Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences, Porto Alegre, 2023.  Chapters 1 and 3

The symposium, organized within the Fapesp Thematic Project Arts and semantics of creation and memory (Process no. 2020/07886-8), seeks to promote meetings between professionals from different subfields and traditions within anthropology, as well as welcome people from other areas of knowledge, whose perspectives contribute to a production of knowledge that is critical and sensitive to the different ways of creating and inhabiting worlds. Conceived from four main axes that make up the thematic project – arts, ecology, kinship and politics –, the 1st International Métis Symposium foresees two Conferences and four Transversal Meetings (ET). Each presentation is expected to explore, based on ethnographic examples and theoretical analyses, aspects related to the guiding idea of ​​the Symposium. In this sense, it is desirable to make an effort to articulate research that initially belongs to different specialties, but that can illuminate each other based on an expanded understanding of the notions of creation and memory.

The XI National Meeting of the Brazilian Association of Cemetery Studies (ABEC) seeks to bring together researchers on topics related especially to cemeteries, as well as studies on death, mourning and funerary cultural heritage, among others. The purpose of the meeting is to promote the dissemination of research and strengthen cemetery studies through multidisciplinary approaches from areas such as history, anthropology, architecture, philosophy, arts, sociology, psychology, to name just a few of them. In its eleventh edition, the ABEC National Meeting will have as its theme “The trajectory of Funerary Cultural Heritage in Brazil and the 20 years of activity of ABEC”, and will seek to promote debates on old and new cemetery formats, rites and funeral practices, including also, prospects for the funeral sector.
