Description
In this episode of R&T, CTR-researcher in Philosophy of Religion, Aaron Goldman, gives a talk entitled "Investigating QAnon as a Quasi-Religious Movement - Donald Trump as a Religious Hero", recorded from the annual "HT-dagarna" or Humanities and Theology days at the Joint Faculties.
With reference to classic theories of myth and religion, Goldman investigate QAnon – a decentralized right-wing conspiracy movement which emerged in the United States during Donald Trump’s presidency – as a quasi-religious response to Trump’s irruption into American political discourse. Further, Goldman hypothesize that a confluence of factors pertinent to the American cultural landscape generated conditions for a cult – merging the horizons of the religious and political – to coalesce around Trump as a religious hero figure.
