In this course
Joseph Matheny appears as a historical figure in alternative media and conspiracy culture whose archival practices and document collection inform discussions of how misinformation narratives circulate and authenticate themselves across platforms. The course readings invoke him to understand the material conditions and genealogy of QAnon—specifically how obscure historical documents and blockchain-based platforms created infrastructures for conspiracy theories to proliferate and gain perceived legitimacy. His work as a collector and commentator on document provenance becomes a case study in how technological systems (4chan, Steemit) and ostensibly rigorous verification practices paradoxically enable rather than constrain conspiratorial thinking.
