Teorie del complotto e virus Ebola. Le cospirazioni contagiano i social media

Abstract

The Ebola virus that has affected the African population in 2014 with a force never seen before, has led the network to the spread of numerous conspiracy theories and conspiratorial narrations mold. Not only the spread of the virus but also the media contagion has given a strong boost to the spread of conspiracy theories that have found fertile ground in the network for the growth and propagation. What are the processes of meaning that have characterized the massive expansion in the network of conspiratorial narrations?
why these stories have a grip so strong on users and especially on social networks? This paper will try to highlight what are the dynamics that influence the spread network of some of these narrations and how to develop the narrative process of conspiracy theories 2.0.
