摘要

基于图像板平台4chan/pol上的数字民族志，本文追溯了人口替代阴谋理论在过去十年中被极右翼板充斥的模因的生物政治压缩。本文通过充实阴谋论争论经济中模因的功能，论证了研究阴谋论的智力阐述与将其压缩为简洁易用的模因之间的关系的相关性：（a）作为对其核心成分的编码和压缩；（b）通过填补阴谋论逻辑中的（不言而喻的）空白；以及（c）促进对社会生活的生物政治理解。

Memeing a conspiracy theory: On the biopolitical compression of the great replacement conspiracy theories

Based on a digital ethnography on the imageboard platform 4chan/pol, this article traces the biopolitical compression of Population Replacement Conspiracy Theories into memes, which have populated far-right boards in the last decade. The article makes an argument for the relevance of studying the relation between the intellectual elaboration of Conspiracy Theories and their compression into concise and easily consumable memes, by fleshing out the functionality of memes in the argumentative economy of Conspiracy theories, (a) as encoding and compressing their core components; (b) by filling in the (unspoken) gaps in the logic of Conspiracy theories; and (c) by advancing a biopolitical understanding of social life.

期刊介绍： A major new international journal successfully launched in 2000 Ethnography is a new international and interdisciplinary journal for the ethnographic study of social and cultural change. Bridging the chasm between sociology and anthropology, it is becoming the leading network for dialogical exchanges between monadic ethnographers and those from all disciplines involved and interested in ethnography and society. It seeks to promote embedded research that fuses close-up observation, rigorous theory and social critique.
