Conspiracy Theories in the Middle East and the United States: A Comparative Approach

13-15 January 2011, Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, Germany

Organizers: Michael Butter/Maurus Reinkowski

Conspiracy theories flourish in highly diverse environments and answer to vastly different human needs, desires, and imaginations. Focusing on two regions, the United States and the Middle East that are, despite all their differences, inextricably connected in multifarious ways, the conference adopts a comparative approach to the study of conspiracy theories. While we are particularly interested in papers that explore the comparative and transregional dimension of the topic, we also invite contributions that focus on any aspect of conspiracy theories related to either the Middle East or the United States. The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies will cover travel and accommodation costs for all presenters. Please submit your 300-word proposal as well as a short CV (2-3 pages) to conspiracy.theories@frias.uni-freiburg.de by 15 March 2010.
