Résumé
Reviving the somewhat forgotten notion of "secondary orality", this paper conceptualizes online conspiracism as a creative, if monstrous, response to the attention economy of social media. Combining classic literature on oral cultures and current research on online subcultures, this paper takes conspiratorial folklore seriously and develops a programme of research into its features and into its surprising adaptation to the attention regime of digital media.
