摘要

摘要最近的学术研究，特别是Charlotte Ward和David Voas（2011）的研究，发展了阴谋论的范畴，来描述新时代信仰和阴谋论在网上的当代融合。本文试图通过对英国著名阴谋论者David Icke的媒体实践的考察，来质疑阴谋论主要是基于网络的这一前提。它认为，阴谋论是通过一种协同的媒体使用模式运作的，在这种模式下，网络与书籍和演讲等其他媒体以互补的方式发挥作用。文章借鉴了数字宗教研究的框架，进一步认为这种模式有助于加强Icke作为阴谋论者的权威，同时在他的受众中培养社区意识。

Conspirituality and the web: A case study of David Icke’s media use

ABSTRACT Recent scholarship, notably that of Charlotte Ward and David Voas (2011), has developed the category of conspirituality to describe the contemporary melding online of New Age beliefs and conspiracy theories. This article seeks to interrogate the premise that conspirituality is primarily web-based through an examination of the media practices of leading UK-based conspiritualist David Icke. It argues that conspirituality operates through a synergistic model of media use, in which the web functions in a complementary fashion alongside other media such as books and lecture presentations. Drawing on frameworks from digital religion studies, the article further argues that this model serves to reinforce Icke’s authority as a conspiritualist, along with developing a sense of community among his audience.

期刊介绍： Journal of Contemporary Religion is an international peer reviewed journal. Its purpose is to both document and evaluate the anthropological, sociological, psychological, and philosophical aspects of emerging manifestations of religiosity in any part of the world—whether within innovative movements or mainstream institutions. The term ''religion'' in the title of this journal is understood to include contributions on spirituality. Moreover, as the journal title suggests, the focus is on contemporary issues. Therefore, the editors of Journal of Contemporary Religion welcome submissions which deal with: classical topics in the study of religion, such as secularisation and the vitality of religion or traditional sectarian movements; more recent developments in the study of religion, including religion and social problems, religion and the environment, religion and education, the transmission of religion, the materialisation and visualisation of religion in various forms, new forms of religious pluralism, the rise of new forms of religion and spirituality, religion and the Internet, religion and science, religion and globalisation, religion and the economy, etc. theoretical approaches to the study of religion; discussions of methods in relation to empirical research; qualitative and quantitative research and related issues. The Journal includes reviews of books which reflect the above themes.
